The science of bioinformatics has developed in the wake of methods to determine the sequences of the informational macromolecules--DNAs, RNAs and proteins. But in a wider sense, the biological world depends in its every process on the transmission of information, and hence bioinformatics is the fundamental core of biology. We here give a consideration of some of the key problems of bioinformatics in the coming decade, and perhaps longer.
生物信息学这门科学是在确定信息大分子(DNA、RNA和蛋白质)序列的方法之后发展起来的。但从更广泛的意义上讲,生物界的每个过程都依赖于信息的传递,因此生物信息学是生物学的核心基础。在此,我们探讨一下未来十年甚至更长时间内生物信息学的一些关键问题。
