Bioinformatics and biological reality
Many bioinformaticians seem to shy away from believing that we can have knowledge about a mind-independent biological reality. This paper attempts to show that this tendency is neither well-founded nor harmless. Even though most bioinformaticians work only with terms and concepts, they cannot altogether disregard the question whether these terms and concepts have any real referents. The paper c...

متن کاملBioinformatics: from genome data to biological knowledge.
Recently, molecular biologists have sequenced about a dozen bacterial genomes and the first eukaryotic genome. We can now obtain answers to detailed questions about the complete set of genes of an organism. Bioinformatics methods are increasingly used for attaching biological knowledge to long lists of genes, assigning genes to biological pathways, comparing the gene sets of different species, ...
متن کاملImpact of Biological Big Data in Bioinformatics
In an era of high-throughput sequencing, drilling of biological data to extract hidden valued information plays an important role in making critical decisions across every branch of science, whether it is genomics or proteomics or metabolomics or personal medicine. For example, the genome sequence of the patients contains much valuable information about the myriad of disease causes, easy extrac...
