Bioinformatics is the discipline that develops and applies informatics to the field of molecular biology.
Research, development, or application of computational tools and approaches for expanding the use of biological, medical, behavioral or health data, including those to acquire, store, organize, archive, analyze, or visualize such data Computational Biology: the development and application of dataanalytical and theoretical methods, mathematical modeling and computational simulation techniques to the study of biological, behavioral, and social systems.
