Biology in the 21st century is being transformed from a purely lab-based science to an information science as well. Bioinformatics is the field of science in which biology, computer science, and information technology merge to form a single discipline. www.genomics.org.cn:8080/bgi/bgilt/ images/bioinformatics.jp

Data mining requires a testable hypothesis generated with regard to the function or structure of a gene or protein by identifying similar sequences in better characterized organisms. To help in uncovering phylogenetic relationships and evolutionary patterns. www.tigr.org Why use Bioinformatics?

NCBI Problem Sets http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Class/FieldGuide/problem_set.html The last known Tasmanian tiger died in the Hobart Zoo in 1936. DNA sequences have been obtained from museum specimens. How many DNA and protein sequences are there? What genes were cloned? There are a number of sequences for extinct organisms in the NCBI databases. Visit the list of extinct taxa in the Taxonomy Browser pages.
