AIBBioinformatics Vs. Computational Biology

Computational biology = the study of biologyusing computational techniques. The goal isto learn new biology, knowledge about living

systems. It is about science. Bioinformatics = the creation of tools

(algorithms, databases) that solveproblems. The goal is to build useful tools thatwork on biological data. It is aboutengineering.

AIBBioinformatics

A science that can be learned in onesemester course or a 2-days workshop

A science that helps the experimentalists It is Bio so knowledge of mathematics

and chemical sciences is not required

Misconceptions

Its a great skill to have, but for most, its noteven a skill its a passion, its a way of life,

its a thrill.
