  2. Biological computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_computing

    Biological computing. Biological computers use biologically derived molecules — such as DNA and/or proteins — to perform digital or real computations . The development of biocomputers has been made possible by the expanding new science of nanobiotechnology. The term nanobiotechnology can be defined in multiple ways; in a more general sense ...

  3. Data processing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_processing

    A data processing system is a combination of machines, people, and processes that for a set of inputs produces a defined set of outputs. The inputs and outputs are interpreted as data, facts, information etc. depending on the interpreter's relation to the system. A term commonly used synonymously with data or storage (codes) processing system ...

  4. Bioinformatics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioinformatics

    Bioinformatics tools aid in comparing, analyzing and interpreting genetic and genomic data and more generally in the understanding of evolutionary aspects of molecular biology. At a more integrative level, it helps analyze and catalogue the biological pathways and networks that are an important part of systems biology.

  5. Systems biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systems_biology

    Systems biology is the computational and mathematical analysis and modeling of complex biological systems. It is a biology -based interdisciplinary field of study that focuses on complex interactions within biological systems, using a holistic approach ( holism instead of the more traditional reductionism) to biological research. [1 ...

  6. Biological computation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_computation

    Biological computation. The concept of biological computation proposes that living organisms perform computations, and that as such, abstract ideas of information and computation may be key to understanding biology. [1] [2] As a field, biological computation can include the study of the systems biology computations performed by biota [3] [4] [5 ...

  7. Machine learning in bioinformatics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_learning_in...

    Machine learning in bioinformatics is the application of machine learning algorithms to bioinformatics, [1] including genomics, proteomics, microarrays, systems biology, evolution, and text mining. [2] [3] Prior to the emergence of machine learning, bioinformatics algorithms had to be programmed by hand; for problems such as protein structure ...

  8. Computational biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_biology

    Starting in 1990, by 1999, chromosome 22 became the first human chromosome to be completely sequenced. Computational biology refers to the use of data analysis, mathematical modeling and computational simulations to understand biological systems and relationships. [1] An intersection of computer science, biology, and big data, the field also ...

  9. BLAST (biotechnology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BLAST_(biotechnology)

    The time to complete the search increases linearly as the size of the database increases. MPIblast utilizes parallel processing to speed up the search. The ideal speed for any parallel computation is a complexity of O(n/p), with n being the size of the database and p being the number of processors. This would indicate that the job is evenly ...
