While each field is distinct, there may be significant overlap at their interface, [1] so much so that to many, bioinformatics and computational biology are terms that are used interchangeably. The terms computational biology and evolutionary computation have a similar name, but are not to be confused. Unlike computational biology, evolutionary ...
A computer-assisted design (CAD) tool for synthetic biology, used to design genetic constructs based on grammar rules. Linux, macOS, Windows: Apache License 2.0 GenoCAD Team (Virginia Bioinformatics Institute) Genomespace: Centralized web application that provides data format transformations and facilitates connections with other bioinformatics ...
The concept of biological computation proposes that living organisms perform computations, and that as such, abstract ideas of information and computation may be key to understanding biology.
Bioinformatics uses biology, chemistry, physics, computer science, computer programming, information engineering, mathematics and statistics to analyze and interpret biological data. The process of analyzing and interpreting data can sometimes be referred to as computational biology, however this distinction between the two terms is often ...
Computational genomics refers to the use of computational and statistical analysis to decipher biology from genome sequences and related data, [1] including both DNA and RNA sequence as well as other "post-genomic" data (i.e., experimental data obtained with technologies that require the genome sequence, such as genomic DNA microarrays).
Bioimage informatics is a subfield of bioinformatics and computational biology. [1] It focuses on the use of computational techniques to analyze bioimages, especially cellular and molecular images, at large scale and high throughput. The goal is to obtain useful knowledge out of complicated and heterogeneous image and related metadata.
The behavior of biologically derived computational systems such as these relies on the particular molecules that make up the system, which are primarily proteins but may also include DNA molecules. Nanobiotechnology provides the means to synthesize the multiple chemical components necessary to create such a system.
The Biopython project is an open-source collection of non-commercial Python tools for computational biology and bioinformatics, created by an international association of developers. [1] [4] [5] It contains classes to represent biological sequences and sequence annotations, and it is able to read and write to a variety of file formats.
