  8. Central Paradigm of Bioinformatics Introduction

  9. What is Bioinformatics? • Information technology applied to the management and analysis of biological data. • It was originally coined in the mid-1980s for the analysis of biological data. • It can include computational manipulation and analysis of biological sequence data, as well as manipulation and analysis of three-dimensional structural data. • What laid the foundation of this revolutionary field? • Protein sequencing and Nucleic acid sequencing in the 60’s and 70’s paved the way for sequence revolution and hence the 80’s saw progress in computer-based technologies to cope with this surge in information Introduction

  10. Related fields Systems Biology Proteomics: Study of the entire complement of proteins (proteome) Structural Genomics: Pursuance of protein structures on a genome wide scale. Genomics: Study of genomes of organisms. Systems Biology: Studies the complex systems which exist within and across multiple biological scales Introduction
