Abstract
A flood of biological data has caused many challenges in computing. Bioinformatics, the application of computational techniques to analyze the information associated with biomolecules on a large-scale, has now firmly established itself as an interdisciplinary subject in molecular biology, and encompasses a wide range of subject areas from structural biology, genomics, proteomics, systems biology, biostatistics to computer science. In this review, I provide an introduction and overview of the current state of bioinformatics. Looking at the types of biological information and databases that are commonly used, I also deals with some of bioinformatics application domains which are closely related to areas of computer science.
