Answer

Bioinformatics: Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary field that uses computational, mathematical, statistical and occasionally, engineering approaches, in analysing biological information for solving biological problems. Thus, bioinformatics deals with storage, retrieval, analysis and interpretation of biological data using computer based software and tools. Although there are differences, it is alternatingly and interchangeably used with other terms such as computational biology', 'mathematical biology', 'quantitative biology' and 'bio-statistics", depending on the dominating disciplinary components. It must be noted, however, that use of these definitions vary among experts and practitioners and has changed with time.
