We dance round in a ring and suppose But the Secretsits in the middle and knows. The Secret Sits by Robert Frost Toby M Horn, PhD thorn@ciw.edu
bioinformatics is … • the use of computer science, mathematics, and information theory to model and analyze biological systems. • the collection, organization and analysis of large amounts of biological data, using networks of computers and databases. • the use of computing tools to manage and analyze genomic and molecular biological data. Toby M Horn, PhD thorn@ciw.edu
So What? Toby M Horn, PhD thorn@ciw.edu
Applications of Bioinformatics • Understanding how our genomes work • Tracing the pathway of emerging diseases • Developing modified strains of crops with better quality and quantity of protein, vitamin, oil • And more Toby M Horn, PhD thorn@ciw.edu

What You’ll Do • String 18 beads in a pattern (or not) that YOU like • Enter the sequence in GenBank • Discover the secret of your sequence Toby M Horn, PhD thorn@ciw.edu
Stringing Your Beads You have a bracelet length of elastic. • Tie a double knot in one end, leaving about 3 cm. • Bead from the long end of the elastic. • Stretch the elastic just a little and tie a double-knot on the free end close to the beads (should leave about 3 cm or more). • Bead both ends through another bead. Double knot the ends together. Cut the longer piece of elastic. Toby M Horn, PhD thorn@ciw.edu
