BioInformatics - What and Why?
The following power point
presentation is designed to give
some background information on
Bioinformatics.
This presentation is modified from information supplied by Dr.
Bruno Gaeta, and with permission from eBioInformatics Pty

The need for bioinformaticists.
The number of entries in data bases of gene sequences is
increasing exponentially. Bioinformaticians are needed to
understand and use this information.

Genome sequencing projects, including the human genome project
are producing vast amounts of information. The challenge is to use
this information in a useful way

Bioinformatics impacts on all aspects of
biological research.
”..We must hook our individual computers into the
worldwide network that gives us access to daily changes
in the databases and also makes immediate our
communications with each other. The programs that
display and analyze the material for us must be improved
- and we must learn to use them more effectively. Like the
purchased kits, they will make our life easier, but also like
the kits, we must understand enough of how they work to
use them effectively…”

Knowledge of protein structure facilitates drug design
Understanding of genomic variation allows the tailoring
of medical treatment to the individual’s genetic make-up
Genome analysis allows the targeting of genetic
diseases
The effect of a disease or of a therapeutic on RNA and
protein levels can be elucidated
The same techniques can be applied to
biotechnology, crop and livestock
improvement, etc...

Challenges in bioinformatics

Explosion of information




Need for faster, automated analysis to process large
amounts of data
Need for integration between different types of
information (sequences, literature, annotations, protein
levels, RNA levels etc…)
Need for “smarter” software to identify interesting
relationships in very large data sets
Lack of “bioinformaticians”


Software needs to be easier to access, use and
understand
Biologists need to learn about the software, its
limitations, and how to interpret its results
