Computational Modeling In Bioinformatics

Bioinformatics is an inter-disciplinary field which is concerned with the development of new methods for understanding large and complex biological data structures. It combines the principles of biology, mathematics, computer science, statistics and information engineering for the analysis of biological molecules such as DNA and RNA. A computational model is a complex non-linear model which requires extensive resources to study a system using computer simulation. Bioinformatics makes use of computational modeling systems to study DNA sequencing, genome annotation, genomics and mutation.
