BIOINFORMATICS is conceptualizingbiology in terms ofmolecules(in the sense of physical-chemistry) andthen applying informatics techniques(derivedfrom disciplines such as applied math, CS, andstatistics) to understand andorganize theinformation associatedwith these molecules,on alarge-scale. BIOINFORMATICS is MIS for Molecular BiologyInformation4(c) Mark Gerstein , 1999, Yale, Biology: an Information Science Central Dogmaof Molecular BiologyDNA-> RNA-> Protein-> Phenotype-> DNA Molecules Sequence, Structure, Function Processes Mechanism, Specificity, Regulation Central Paradigmfor BioinformaticsGenomic Sequence Information-> mRNA (level)-> Protein Sequence-> Protein Structure-> Protein Function-> Phenotype Large Amounts of Information Standardized Statistical(idea from D Brutlag, Stanford, graphics from S Strobel) Genetic material Information transfer (mRNA) Protein synthesis (tRNA/mRNA) Some catalytic activity Most cellular functions are performed orfacilitated by proteins.
