``Bioinformatics, which straddles the interface between traditional biology and computer science, has emerged as a new discipline that promises to transform research in fields from genomics to pharmacology, and may well reverse the life sciences' longstanding reductionist paradigm. More and more universities are establishing bioinformatics programs to meet the growing demand for training.
``James Kent, a graduate student in the laboratory of Alan Zahler at the University of California at Santa Cruz, recently was accorded hero status by the New York Times for his role in the completion of the sequencing of the human genome. In just four weeks, Kent produced a computer program known as the GigAssembler that enabled the public consortium of sequencing laboratories to splice together 400,000 overlapping DNA fragments of the human genome. `I felt proud and a little embarrassed,' said Kent when asked about the Times story. `There are a lot of other people working very hard on this project.'''
