Are you biologist scared of computers...?!!

It looks like biologists are colonizing the dictionary with all these bio-
words: we have bio-chemistry, bio-metrics, bio-physics, bio-technology,
bio-hazards,bio-statistics and even bio-terrorism. Now what’s up with the new entry in the  bio-informatics?

Bioinformatics is a much simpler subject than you ever thought possible. For
most people new to this field, the main difficulty is finding out the kind of
questions they can ask with these new tools. If you’re a biologist, don’t let the computer scare you; bioinformatics is nothing more than good, sound, regular biology hidden inside a computer.

The magic thing about bioinformatics is that, with a simple Internet connec-
tion, you can browse databases that contain the sum of our entire human biological knowledge — and you can do this with the most sophisticated tools ever developed by mankind. And how much is this going to cost you? Nothing!
