| Abstract: | Bioinformatics is the name that has become associated with the theoretical and applied field of study that links computer science with modern biology. Within molecular biology specifically, bioinformatics is a generic term used to describe many of the analytical manipulations that can be carried out on sequences. Familiarity with the resources available and fundamental methods used for such analyses should be an essential part of a modern biology course, especially given the availability of WWW resources. In this article, some of these resources are summarised and their possible integration into a short practical undergraduate teaching unit is described. |
