Informatics term index
Roger Brent said in his opening remarks for the 2000 After the Genome
meeting in Jackson Hole Wyoming "current efforts to come to grips with
genomic information often resemble computer-savvy library science, where the
most important issues concern categories, classification schemes and
information retrieval … What we would actually like to achieve, however,
is a predictive understanding of biological function. The goal here is a
true computational biology that will be able to make functional
predictions from available genomic data [italics

Not a
comprehensive list of terms, but a quick and dirty finding aid while I'm working
on getting these glossaries into a (long overdue) searchable database.
