abstract :

Scientists have been interested in biology (including
genetics and molecular biology) for many centuries. Both
to find out more about plants and animals, but of course
to also learn about human health.
Along with physics and chemistry, biology is one of the
natural sciences that many of us (probably) studied in
school.
Over the last decade or two, the amount and type of data
being generated has required computational methods for
data analysis. Simply put, this is the field of bioinformatics
or computational biology.
