Genetics, bioinformatics, and computational biology
Genetics is the study of biological inheritance. Bioinformatics is the use of computers to study biological systems. It involves the 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 is the development and application of data-analytical and theoretical methods, mathematical modeling and computational simulation techniques for the study of biological, behavioral, and social systems.
