An Overview of Bioinformatics
Abstract: What is bioinformatics? Biology and computer science? How are they related to each other? This question, I believe, could have been raised even in the nineteenth century, when computer and biological technologies were just emerging. The great Louis Pasteur (1822–1895) was researching the relationship between the presence of a particular microorganism and alcohol fermentation in a particular French city. Ada Lovelace, a mathematician who shared Charles Babbage’s vision, was attempting …
