About bioinformatics
Bioinformatics encompasses:
- Databases and knowledgebases for storing, retrieving and organizing biological information to maximize the value of biological data;
- Software tools for modelling, visualizing, analysing, interpreting and comparing biological data;
- Computing and storage infrastructure to process large amounts of data;
- Analysis of complex biological datasets or systems in the context of particular research projects;
- Research in a wide variety of biological fields using computer- and data science and leading to applications in diverse areas, from agriculture to precision medicine.
Bioinformatics is thus a multidisciplinary field bringing together biologists, computer scientists and mathematicians, as well as statisticians and physicists.
