In first weak we learn the basics of Bioinformatics. Bioinformatics is a science field
that is similar to but distinct from biological computation,
while it is often considered synonymous to computation. biological Biological computation uses bioengineering and biology to build biological computers, whereas bioinformatics uses computation to better
understand biology. Bioinformatics and computational biology involve the
analysis of biological data, particularly DNA, RNA, and protein sequences. The
field of bioinformatics experienced explosive growth starting in the mid-1990s,
driven largely by the Human Genome Project and
by rapid advances in DNA sequencing technology.
Analyzing biological data to
produce meaningful information involves writing and running software programs
that use algorithms from graph theory, artificial intelligence, soft computing, data mining, image processing, and computer simuilation. The algorithms
in turn depend on theoretical foundations such as discrete mathematics, control theory, system theory, information theory,
and statistics.
