Where on the Internet should you look for a DNA sequence, a protein sequence, or a protein structure? What are two problems encountered in analyzing biological sequence, structure, and function? How has the age of genomics changed the landscape of bioinformatics? What two changes should we anticipate in the medical record as a result of these new information sources? What are two computational challenges in bioinformatics for the future?en-USPublisher PolicyThis article is made available for unrestricted research re-use and secondary analysis in any form or by any means with acknowledgement of the original source.
