Bioinformatics is broadly defined as the use of computers to analyse biological information. The most common form of bioinformatics is studying the vast amounts of DNA and protein sequence that are now available. However, there are many other possible applications of computers in biology, such as simulating populations, analysing experimental gels and storing information about the phenotypes of mutant organisms.
For sites predominantly containing links to other sites of interest to researchers in the field of bioinformatics. Inclusion of unique content or reviews of the sites linked to is strongly encouraged.
This category is for resources on the role of bioinformatics in education. It is not only about teaching bioinformatics per se, but also about the ways that advances in bioinformatics are changing the whole field of biology, and consequently the teaching and learning of all aspects of biology and life sciences, health sciences, agriculture, environmental sciences, and related fields.

For sites listing employment opportunities in the field of bioinformatics. General job site will not be listed and should be submitted to /Business/Employment/Job_Search/
Hardware customised or configured *specifically* for bioinformatics use.
With the explosion in the amount of DNA and protein sequence available, many organizations offer web-based access to programs which process this information in some way. This category entails the many different services that are open for use by private or public organizations for the purpose of biological computation or services (i.e. informative bioinformatics databases).
