Differences between Bioinformatics and Computational Biology
Bioinformatics and Computational Biology are new field of study in science stream. Both these field initially are confusing to understand, but you study and gain working experience of Bioinformatics or Computational Biology or both.
It becomes obvious scenario where to work, what kind of working skills are required for any of these.

Here are presenting some differences between Bioinformatics and Computational Biology for better understanding of Bioinformatics Concepts.
=> Both Bioinformatics and
Computational Biology are
Computers and Biology.
=> Biologists who specialize in use
of computational tools
and systems to
answer problems of
biology are bioinformaticians
.
=> Computer scientists, mathematicians,
statisticians, and engineers who specialize in developing theories, algorithms
and techniques for
such tools and
systems are computational biologists.
=> The actual
process of analyzing and
interpreting data is referred to
as computational biology.
Important sub- disciplines within bioinformatics and computational biology include:
== the development
and implementation of
tools that enable
efficient access to, and use and management of, various types of information.
== the development
of new algorithms
(mathematical formulas) and
statistics with which to assess relationships among
members of large
data sets, such as
methods to locate
a gene within a sequence,
predict protein structure
and/or function, and
cluster protein sequences into families of related sequences.
=> Bioinformatics has become a mainstay of
genomics, proteomics, and all other *. Omics (such as phenomics) and many
information technology companies have entered the business or are considering
entering the business, creating an IT (Information Technology) and BT
(Biotechnology) convergence.
Differences Between "Bioinformaticist and Bioinformatician":
=>A Bioinformaticist is an expert who not
only knows how to use bioinformatics tools, but also knows how to write
interfaces for effective use of the tools.
=> A Bioinformatician, on the other hand, is
trained individual who only knows to use bioinformatics tools without a deeper
understanding.
