No-boundary thinking in bioinformatics research

BioData Min. 2013 Nov 6;6(1):19. doi: 10.1186/1756-0381-6-19.

Abstract

Currently there are definitions from many agencies and research societies defining "bioinformatics" as deriving knowledge from computational analysis of large volumes of biological and biomedical data. Should this be the bioinformatics research focus? We will discuss this issue in this review article. We would like to promote the idea of supporting human-infrastructure (HI) with no-boundary thinking (NT) in bioinformatics (HINT).
