  2. Bioinformatics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioinformatics

    Bioinformatics is the name given to these mathematical and computing approaches used to glean understanding of biological processes. Common activities in bioinformatics include mapping and analyzing DNA and protein sequences, aligning DNA and protein sequences to compare them, and creating and viewing 3-D models of protein structures.

  3. Biological database - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_database

    Relational database concepts of computer science and Information retrieval concepts of digital libraries are important for understanding biological databases. Biological database design, development, and long-term management is a core area of the discipline of bioinformatics. [3]

  4. Biological data - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_data

    Biological data has also been difficult to define, as bioinformatics is a wide-encompassing field. Further, the question of what constitutes as being a living organism has been contentious, as "alive" represents a nebulous term that encompasses molecular evolution, biological modeling, biophysics, and systems biology.

  5. National Center for Biotechnology Information - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Center_for...

    The NCBI houses a series of databases relevant to biotechnology and biomedicine and is an important resource for bioinformatics tools and services. Major databases include GenBank for DNA sequences and PubMed, a bibliographic database for biomedical literature.

  6. Structural bioinformatics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_bioinformatics

    Structural bioinformatics is the branch of bioinformatics that is related to the analysis and prediction of the three-dimensional structure of biological macromolecules such as proteins, RNA, and DNA. It deals with generalizations about macromolecular 3D structures such as comparisons of overall folds and local motifs, principles of molecular ...

  7. UniProt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UniProt

    UniProt is a freely accessible database of protein sequence and functional information, many entries being derived from genome sequencing projects.It contains a large amount of information about the biological function of proteins derived from the research literature.

  8. Biological computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_computing

    Biological computers use biologically derived molecules — such as DNA and/or proteins — to perform digital or real computations.. The development of biocomputers has been made possible by the expanding new science of nanobiotechnology.

  9. Sequence analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequence_analysis

    In bioinformatics, sequence analysis is the process of subjecting a DNA, RNA or peptide sequence to any of a wide range of analytical methods to understand its features, function, structure, or evolution. It can be performed on the entire genome, transcriptome or proteome of an organism, and can also involve only selected segments or regions ...
