Genome informatics is a field of computational molecular biology and branch of informatics that uses computers, software, and computational solution techniques to make observations, resolve problems, and manage data related to the genomic function of DNA sequences, comparison of gene structures, determination of the tertiary structure of all proteins, and other molecular biological activities.[1]
History
On December 3–4, 1990, the first annual Genome Informatics Workshop (GIW) was hosted in Tokyo, Japan.[2] The name of the event changed with the twelfth meeting in 2001 to the International Conference on Genome Informatics.[3]
Application
Genome informatics can help tackle problems and tasks such as the following[1]:
- analyzing DNA sequences
- recognizing genes and proteins and predicting their structures
- predicting the biochemical function of new genes or fragments
- extracting information from "families of homologous sequences and their structures"
- detecting and classifying near and distant family relations of genes
