The New Bioinformatics: Integrating Ecological Data from the Gene to the Biosphere
Bioinformatics, the application of computational tools to the management and analysis of biological data, has stimulated rapid research advances in genomics through the development of data archives such as GenBank, and similar progress is just beginning within ecology. One reason for the belated adoption of informatics approaches in ecology is the breadth of ecologically pertinent data (from genes to the biosphere) and its highly heterogeneous nature….
Ecoinformatics, I like the term!
And gives hope to the Cities in the Wilderness idea over on my other blog.
[…] global warming. But I think it really comes down to two: geeky breakthroughs using tools like the Ecoinformatics idea discussed on my other blog. But its largely out of our common man hands, we may track what is […]
