Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary field that applies computational and statistical methods to the collection, storage, analysis, and interpretation of biological data. It emerged from the need to manage the vast quantities of information generated by genomics, proteomics, and other high-throughput technologies, and it combines biology, computer science, mathematics, and information science to make sense of molecular data. Core activities include aligning and comparing DNA, RNA, and protein sequences, predicting gene and protein structure and function, annotating genomes, reconstructing evolutionary relationships, and analyzing gene expression and biological networks. Bioinformatics underpins advances in disease diagnosis, drug discovery, personalized medicine, and basic research into the molecular mechanisms of life. Within the scope of Biotechnology and Biomedical Science, this collection includes substantial bioinformatics-related work, including an overview of the emerging role of bioinformatics in biotechnology, an examination of the Human Proteome Project and bioinformatics in disease diagnosis and treatment, bioinformatic analysis of metabolomics in type 2 diabetes, analysis of coronary disease-associated variants and genes in atherosclerosis, and studies using microRNA quantification for diagnostic screening. The page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to computational biology, sequence and genomic analysis, and the application of informatics to biomedical questions.
