Abstract
Do you know how much information is hidden inside your own cells? It is a huge amount. Are you curious about how scientists decipher and handle this large volume of data? Computer science and mathematics have helped biologists to create a new science to analyze, organize, and understand biological data: bioinformatics. Bioinformatics allows us to manage huge amounts of biological data and make sense of it. In other words, bioinformatics allows us to explore the mysteries of life and find answers to complex questions about the functioning of living beings. In this article, we are happy to tell you what this fascinating new field is and what it is used for. We think you will like it!
