GlossaryBioinformatics

use of computational tools to analyze biological data

Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary field that combines biology, computer science, and information technology to analyze and interpret biological data, such as genetic sequences. It involves the use of software tools and algorithms to understand complex biological processes, which can be crucial for research in areas like genomics, drug discovery, and personalized medicine.
