What is Bioinformatics?
Mathematics and
Statistics
Biology
Computer
Science
A working definition is that of House of
Representatives Standing Committee on Primary
Industries and Regional Services Inquiry :-
"All aspects of gathering, storing, handling,
analyzing, interpreting and spreading vast amounts
of biological information in databases. The
information involved includes gene sequences,
biological activity/function, pharmacological activity,
biological structure, molecular structure, protein-
protein interactions, and gene expression.
Bioinformatics uses powerful computers and
statistical techniques to accomplish research
objectives, for example, to discover a new
pharmaceutical or herbicide."
What is bioinformatics?
• Molecular biology and genetics
• Phylogenetic and evolutionary sciences
• Different aspects of biotechnology including pharmaceutical
and microbiological industries
• Medicine
• Agriculture
•Eco-management
Areas of current and future development of bioinformatics
• Exponential growth of investments
• Constant deficit of trained professionals
• Diversification of bioinformatics applications
• Need in different types of bioinformaticians
Why bioinformatics?

Genetic Code
1. Amino acids are coded by codons – triplets of
nucleotides, e.g. |ACG|TAT|….
2. There are 43 = 64 codons for ~20 amino acids, the
code is degenerate
3. Codons do not overlap
4. Deletions or insertions of one or few nucleotides (not
equal to 3 x N) usually destroy a message by shifting
a reading frame
5. Three specific codons (stop codons) do not code any
amino acid and are always located at the very end of
the protein coding part of a gene
The genetic code

organisms

Genes (~30,000); only a small fraction of genome
Nucleotides (~3x109)
Eukaryotic genes are complex
Promoter Exon 1 Exon 2 Exon 3 Exon 4
Start codon Intron 1 Intron 2 Intron 3 Stop codon
