Bioinformatics v/s Computational biology

Computational biology is a very close relative of bioinformatics .

Computational biology  generally is concerned with the development of novel and efficient algorithms that can be proven to work on a difficult problem ,such as multiple sequence alignment or genome fragment assembly .

On the other hand , bioinformatics focuses more on the development of practical tools for data management and analysis. E.g, Display of genomic information and sequence analysis, but with less emphasis on efficiency and proven accuracy.
