  1. BIOLOGY BIO INFORMATICS INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY COMPUTER SCIENCE Bioinformatics – a Definition The field of science in which biology, computer science, and information technology merge into a single discipline. NCBI, Aug 2001

  2. Biology in the 21st century is being transformed from a purely lab-based science to an information science as well. www.genomics.org.cn:8080/bgi/bgilt/ images/bioinformatics.jp Bioinformatics is the field of science in which biology, computer science, and information technology merge to form a single discipline.

  3. Growth of Bioinformatics Computer Programming 50 yrs ago DNA & Protein Structure Personal Computers/ Internet 20 yrs ago PCR w.w.w. Last10 yrs Human Genome Project All fields use computers Now Global Biological (art, law, communication) Research

  6. Why use Bioinformatics? Data mining requires a testable hypothesis generated with regard to the function or structure of a gene or protein by identifying similar sequences in better characterized organisms. To help in uncovering phylogenetic relationships and evolutionary patterns. www.tigr.org

  21. NCBI Problem Sets http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Class/FieldGuide/problem_set.html The last known Tasmanian tiger died in the Hobart Zoo in 1936. DNA sequences have been obtained from museum specimens. How many DNA and protein sequences are there? What genes were cloned? There are a number of sequences for extinct organisms in the NCBI databases. Visit the list of extinct taxa in the Taxonomy Browser pages.
