	Bioinformatics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bioinformatics and computational biology involve the use of techniques from applied mathematics, informatics, statistics, and computer science, and chemistry, especially biochemistry to solve biological problems usually on the molecular level.
		Bioinformatics helps to bridge the gap between genome and proteome projects--for example, in the use of DNA sequences for protein identification.
		In the genomic branch of bioinformatics, homology is used to predict the function of a gene: if the sequence of gene A, whose function is known, is homologous to the sequence of gene B, whose function is unknown, one could infer that B may share A's function.

	Bioinformatics definition - a review
		Bioinformatics is a rapidly developing branch of biology and is highly interdisciplinary, using techniques and concepts from informatics, statistics, mathematics, chemistry, biochemistry, physics, and linguistics.
		Bioinformatics or computational biology is the use of mathematical and informational techniques, including statistics, to solve biological problems, usually by creating or using computer programs, mathematical models or both.
		Bioinformatics has become a mainstay of genomics, proteomics, and all other *.omics (such as phenomics) that many information technology companies have entered the business or are considering entering the business, creating an IT (information technology) and BT (biotechnology) convergence.

	C&EN: BUSINESS - BIOINFORMATICS
		Bioinformatics is needed to keep up with the millions of data points, to analyze experiments to determine compound toxicity, and to package data for submission to the Food and Drug Administration.
		Bioinformatics helps researchers analyze patterns of gene expression with computer algorithms that compare the patterns for materials of known toxicity in other organisms to the pattern of a DNA sequence found in the human genome.
		Whereas bioinformatics, in general, is the discipline in which computers are used to store, retrieve, and assist in understanding biological information, cheminformatics is the organization of chemical data in a logical form to facilitate the process of understanding and making inferences.

	C&EN: EMPLOYMENT - CAREERS IN BIOINFORMATICS
		The "ideal profile" for someone in bioinformatics at Accelrys is someone who has at least a master's degree in biology in addition to a computer science degree, according to Judith M. Ohrn, vice president of human resources.
		The main issue in preparing for a career in bioinformatics isn't whether an individual is a biologist or computer scientist first, says Michael N. Liebman, director of computational biology at the Abramson Family Cancer Research Institute at the University of Pennsylvania.
		Liebman calls bioinformatics a "moving target." People who are training for a career should not expect that the qualifications for the jobs advertised today will also be what is needed in the future.
