Le bioinformaticien met la technologie informatique au service de la biologie. Son métier exige une double compétence. Il n'est pas un biologiste avec de vagues compétences en informatique, ni un informaticien possédant des bases en biologie. C'est un véritable spécialiste des deux domaines. 1, record 1, French, - bioinformaticien

Certains bio-informaticiens évoquent même la possibilité d'expérimentations in silicio, c'est-à-dire purement numériques, et l'on voit déjà apparaître les premières thèses en biologie réalisées quasi exclusivement à partir de modèles informatiques. «L'avantage de la simulation informatique, c'est que lorsque vous essayez de décrypter un génome sur votre ordinateur, vous pouvez supprimer virtuellement certains gènes, analyser la réponse et déduire dans quel processus ils étaient impliqués. Du coup, vous faites des découvertes que vous n'auriez pu réaliser en expérimentation réelle», explique Philippe Dassen, bio-informaticien, co-directeur d'Infobiogen. 3, record 3, French, - g%C3%A9n%C3%A9maticien
