Computational Biology & Bioinformatics: A Gentle Overview

  1. Mansi Gupta

Abstract

Computational biology organises our understanding of life, makes biological concepts rigorous and testable, and provides a reference map that connects individual insights. The next modern synthesis in biology will be driven by the incorporation of mathematical, statistical, and computational methods into mainstream biological education, transforming biology into a quantitative science. Bioinformatics is divided into several branches, including Genomics, Proteomics, Computer-Aided Drug Design, Bio Data Bases & Data Mining, Molecular Phylogenetics, Microarray Informatics, and Systems Biology. In the following paragraphs, we will discuss their scope briefly.
