What is bioinformatics? p"I do not think all biological computing is bioinformatics, e.g. mathematical modelling is not bioinformatics, even when connected with biology-related problems. In my opinion, bioinformatics has to do withmanagement and the subsequent use of biological information, particular genetic information."-- Richard Durbin
