Bioinformatics
Minor
Bioinformatics is the study of the application of computational methods
to the analysis and management of genomic data. It combines computer
science, biology, chemistry, and mathematics to explore genomic
databases, analyze protein and DNA sequences and predict protein
structure and function. Click here
