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.
Clustering is central to much data-driven bioinformatics research and serves as a powerful computational method whereby means of hierarchical, centroid-based, distribution-based, density-based, and self-organizing maps classification, has long been studied and used in classical machine learning settings.
The primary objectives of this course are: 1) to understand the biological principles that underpin and are illuminated by specific genomic techniques; and 2) to be able to evaluate and utilize existing bioinformatics tools to work with genomic datasets.
Systems biology is the computational and mathematical analysis and modeling of complex biological systems.It is a biology-based interdisciplinary field of study that focuses on complex interactions within biological systems, using a holistic approach (holism instead of the more traditional reductionism) to biological research.
The University of California, San Diego with support from the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences provides training programs in biomedical inforamtics through Doctor of Philosophy and post-doctoral fellowship programs, [64] including a course specifically in health informatics taught by the cancer informaticist Raphael E. Cuomo ...

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 ...
