Second, bioinformatics refers to the work of database, including providing lasting and stable support for data in a stable place (bioinformatics refers to activities similar to databases, involving persistent data sets that remain consistent in a basically indefinite time). (Lin Huaan, Dr. Hwa A. Lim, 1994).
3. Bioinformatics is the conceptual biology of macromolecules. It uses informatics technology, including various methods derived from applied mathematics, computer science and statistics, to understand and organize information related to biomacromolecules in a large range. (Luscomb, 200 1).
Specifically, bioinformatics, as a new discipline, takes the analysis of genomic DNA sequence information as the source, simulates and predicts the spatial structure of protein after obtaining the information of protein coding region, and then designs the required drugs according to the function of specific protein. Genome informatics, protein spatial structure simulation and drug design constitute three important parts of bioinformatics. From the specific content of bioinformatics research, bioinformatics should include these three main parts: (1) research on new algorithms and statistical methods; (2) Analysis and interpretation of various data; ⑶ Develop new tools for effective utilization and management of data.
Bioinformatics is a subject that uses computer technology to study the laws of biological systems.
Bioinformatics is basically a combination of molecular biology and information technology (especially Internet technology). The research materials and achievements of bioinformatics are all kinds of biological data. The research tool is computer, and the research methods include biological data search (collection and screening), processing (editing, sorting, management and display) and utilization (calculation and simulation).
