Bioinformatics and computational biology refer to an interdisciplinary field which is concerned with the development and application of techniques from computer science, mathematics and statistics to address biological problems. One could argue that bioinformatics concentrates on techniques facilitating the acquisition, storage, organization, archiving, analysis and visualization of biological and medical data. Computational biology, on the other hand, focuses on theoretical methods, mathematical modeling and computational simulation techniques to study biological systems and processes.

My view is that both areas—bioinformatics and computational biology—are merging into a single but broader . . . [Full Text of this Article]
