Outline
n Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA): Containing genetic information of a cell to determine the structure, function and behavior of the cell.n Gene (a unit of inheritance): Segment of DNA that carry genetic information for encoding specific cellular RNA and proteins.n Ribonucleic acid (RNA) : Molecule that translates the instructions encoded (genetic information) in DNA to build proteins.n Gene expression: A conversion process that transcribes genetic information in a gene into RNA and then translates to a protein. n Gene Expression Level : An amount of RNA being expressed.n Protein: Large molecules required for the structure, function, and regulation of the body's cells, tissues, and organs. Each protein has unique functions.

Challenge and Motivation
§ Data integration: integrate diverse biological information § DNA sequences, protein sequences, gene expression, protein-protein
interaction data from large-scale screening.§ Functional discovery: assign functions to the 30K+ human genes§ Only 5% of known genes have assigned function§ Without understanding function, no drug discovery can be done in
either small molecule, or in biopharmaceuticals§ Will be the focus of next 20-years of life-science research
§ The complex structure, higher dimensional and explosive growth in the amount of biological data
§ Bioinformatics approach is used to solve the problems: data integration, functional discovery and huge biological data.
