After graduating with a Masters in biology she went to volunteer at a Lab at Leiden University. It was when volunteering at Leiden University that she met Hesper and coined the term Bioinformatics, which she defines as:“the study of information processes in biotic systems.” [7] In 1977, Hogeweg opened a research lab dedicated to bioinformatics with Ben Hesper.
The complexity of genome evolution poses many exciting challenges to developers of mathematical models and algorithms, who have recourse to a spectrum of algorithmic, statistical and mathematical techniques, ranging from exact, heuristics, fixed parameter and approximation algorithms for problems based on parsimony models to Markov chain Monte ...
Margaret Belle (Oakley) Dayhoff (March 11, 1925 – February 5, 1983) was an American Biophysicist and a pioneer in the field of bioinformatics. [1] Dayhoff was a professor at Georgetown University Medical Center and a noted research biochemist at the National Biomedical Research Foundation, where she pioneered the application of mathematics and computational methods to the field of biochemistry.
Emmanouil Dermitzakis (born 1972), Greek human geneticist known for research on the importance of non-coding DNA in evolution and disease risk; Hugo de Vries (1848–1935), Dutch botanist and one of the re-discoverers of Mendel's laws in 1900; Félix d'Herelle (1873–1949), Canadian-French microbiologist, discovered phages, invented phage therapy
Often described as the Father of Biogeography, Wallace shows the impact of human activity on the natural world." [10] Bioinformatics: Margaret Oakley Dayhoff (1925–1983) "... the mother and father of bioinformatics", according to David J. Lipman, former director of the National Center for Biotechnology Information. [11] Biology [note 1]
The OED suggests that its third definition originated as a back-formation from mitome, [7] Early attestations include biome (1916) [8] and genome (first coined as German Genom in 1920 [9]). [ 10 ] The association with chromosome in molecular biology is by false etymology .
Lee coined the term “unicorn” in 2013 as she was starting her own firm, Cowboy Ventures. She’d previously spent more than a decade at Kleiner Perkins, and at Cowboy has backed a wide range ...
The term "taxonomy" was coined by Augustin Pyramus de Candolle [4] while the term "systematic" was coined by Carl Linnaeus the father of taxonomy. [ citation needed ] Taxonomy, systematic biology, systematics, biosystematics, scientific classification, biological classification, phylogenetics: At various times in history, all these words have ...
