Bioinformatics - Answers ∗Computational Biology or the field of science in which biology, computer
science and information technology merge to form a single discipline
∗Finding genes of various organisms
∗Predicting structure or function of newly developed proteins
∗Developing protein models and examining evolutionary relationships
Translational Bioinformatics - Answers ∗Simply put, is the specialization of bioinformatics for human
health
**the identified area of focus in bioinformatics that is focused primarily on the use of bioinformatics
approaches to address challenges in biomedicine and health. A significant goal of TBI is to enable bi-
directional crossing of the translational
barrier between the research bench and the bed in the medical clinic.
Genomics - Answers ∗the field that analyzes genetic material from a species
Proteomics - Answers ∗the study at the level of proteins (e.g., through gene expression)
Pharmacogenomics - Answers ∗the study of genetic material in relationship with drug targets
Metabolomics - Answers ∗ the study of genes, proteins or metabolites
Importance of Bioinformatics - Answers ∗Diagnosing hereditary diseases
∗Discovering future drugs targets
∗Developing personalized drugs based on genetic profiles (personalized medicine)
∗Developing gene therapies to treat diseases with a strong genomic component (e.g. cancer)
phenotype - Answers the observable characteristic, structure, function and behavior of a living
organism. Size and hair color could be examples. Phenotype is strongly guided by the genotype. The
Phenome refers to total phenotypic traits.
Genotype - Answers based on the raw genetic information that is associated with a phenotype or
regulation of biological function. The genome is the total of genotypic traits
Genomic Primer - Answers *∗Humans have a pair of 23 chromosomes- XY chromosome for males and
XX for females
*offspring inherit one pair from each parent
- Variations in genomes known as *SNPs: Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms*
