Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bioinformatics is the science that applies computational tools to DNA and protein sequences to analyze, store, and access them for comparative purposes. Proteomics is the study of proteins, metagenomics is the study of genetic material collected from environmental samples, and genomics is the study of an organism's entire genome. While these fields overlap, bioinformatics specifically focuses on computational analysis of sequence data.
