``Bioinformatics is a marriage of computer science and biology, in which powerful new supercomputers are being trained on our genome - as well as the genomes of experimental yeast, bacteria, fruit flies, and mice - in order to find out how genes make proteins, regulate cell and tissue function, and linked to certain diseases. The ultimate goal of bioinformatics is a clearer understanding of what makes us human, while the payoff is in new biomedical advances and drug treatments.''

Submitted by Nobody ; posted on Monday, February 23, 2004
