Question

What does bioinformatics mean?

Answer 1

Bioinformatics and computational biology (sometimes called systems biology) involve the use or development of techniques, including applied mathematics, informatics, statistics, computer science, artificial intelligence, chemistry, and biochemistry to solve biological problems, usually on the molecular level. The primary goal of bioinformatics is to increase our understanding of bioogical processes. What sets it apart from other approaches, however, is its focus on developing and applying computationally intensive techniques (e.g., data mining, and machine learning algorithms) to achieve this goal. Major research efforts in the field include sequence alignment, gene finding, genome assembly, protein structure alignment, protein structure prediction, prediction of gene expression and protein-protein interactions, and the modeling of evolution.

Answer 2

It is the mathematical analysis of biologic information, usually from dna, rna, or protein structure.

Jordan :D and Tumor Belly, they simply copied and pasted everything from wikipedia...

But I will put everything in a simple and understandable form;  Bioinformatics is very broad. Basically, it addresses applications of computer science and technology to help humans solve a wide variety of problems in biology.
