Introduction to Bioinformatics

The primary goal of synthetic biology is to redesign and fabricate existing biological systems or to efficiently design and create functional systems based on the molecular machines and regulatory circuits of living organisms, following the standard engineering protocol of design and fabrication. Synthetic biology mainly focuses on taking, characterizing, and simplifying parts of existing natural biological and using them as a component of unnatural biological systems. The development of synthetic biology as an engineering discipline cannot rely on endless trial and error methods. The challenge is to process large volumes of complex biological data into concise formulas with predictive power and ultimately link synthetic DNA sequences with dynamic phenotypes. Bioinformatics and computational tools play a key role in overcoming these challenges.

Bioinformatics, as a subdiscipline of biology and computer science, has become a cutting-edge applied science for the application of computer technology to acquire, store, analyze, disseminate, and effectively utilize biological data. In the post-genomics era, the development of whole-genome sequencing, proteomics, microarray, and other technologies has generated large volumes of data that need to be stored, organized, and analyzed to extract new insights and knowledge. Computational simulations thus serve as a powerful alternative and supplement to experimental approaches, advancing the understanding of complex systems in silico. Synthetic biology advances have been driven by the development of powerful bioinformatics tools that allow the integration of the Design-Build-Test-Learn (DBTL) biological engineering cycle. With the rapid development of bioinformatics, mathematics and computational sciences have become equal partners to analytical and experimental biology. Bioinformatics and advanced computational tools play an indispensable role in synthetic biology.
