Computational biology is a highly interdisciplinary field of biology, relying on basic principles from computer science, biology, physics, chemistry, mathematics, and statistics.
Bioinformatics, a popular term in this era of large-scale DNA sequencing, is only a subset of computational biology - the part concerned with the storage, organization, curation and annotation of biological data.
Computational biology extends beyond bioinformatics into the realm of sequence analysis: finding genes and ascertaining their function; predicting the structure of proteins and RNA sequences; and determining the evolutionary relationship of proteins and DNA sequences.
