Bioinformatics: New Frontier Calls Young Scientists

摘要

Not many people who make their living as specialists in bioinformatics planned it just that way. James Ostell, for example, was studying invertebrate development. James Fickett wasn't even in biology: He got his Ph.D. in math, where he says he enjoyed the "abstract beauty" of the discipline. Nevertheless, today both of them are specialists in the rapidly growing discipline that exists to organize the huge mass of information being generated by today's molecular biology.
