Abstract

X-meeting - 1st International Conference of the AB3C

Biology has always been associated with test tubes, microscopes, Petri dishes, and fruit flies, but this conventional view has significantly changed in the last ten years. A typical biology laboratory today has computers, robots and other fancy equipment that together churn out a huge amount of data. A significant part of biology involves information management. Those who can extract knowledge from databases are more prepared to face the mysteries of Nature. That is why bioinformatics and computational biology are everywhere in biomedical sciences nowadays.
