COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGY:
Bioinformatics--Trying to Swim in a Sea of Data

David S. Roos

The massive quantities of data generated by genomic research have given rise to the field of bioinformatics--an emerging discipline that seeks to integrate computer science with applications derived from molecular biology. Roos identifies two major challenges to the advancement of bioinformatics research: how to define permissible use of data released to the community before publication, and restrictions on the further analysis and reposting of published data available on proprietary Web sites.
