Abstract
Over the past few decades, advances in the computer science and informatics have made possible development of new strategies in molecular biology that enable to collect and analyze the data about complex interactions within biological systems. A new inter-disciplinary field of study, called systems biology, has been created. It analyzes and integrates information from genomics (DNA level), transcriptomics (RNA level), proteomics (protein level) and other related fields (e.g. metabolomics and other -omics). Specialized tools to view and analyze biological data and computerized databases to store, organize, and index the data are required. Thus, bioinformatics, the interface between the biological and computational sciences, is indispensable to obtain a clearer insight into the fundamental biology of organisms.
