[edit] Welcome to GenBioOrg
GenBioOrg is the student group for the Genetics, Bioinformatics, and Computational Biology (GBCB) program at Virginia Tech. GenBioOrg maintains GenBioWiki as its home page on the internets. Bioinformatics and computational biology provide a research platform to acquire, manage, analyze, and display large amounts of data, which in turn catalyze a systems approach to understanding biological organisms, as well as making useful predictions about their behavior in response to environmental and other perturbations. Moreover, bioinformatics is the study of biological systems and large biological data sets using analytical methods borrowed from computer science, mathematics, statistics, and the physical sciences. This transdisciplinary approach to research requires graduates with extensive cross-cultural professional and technical training and provides ample employment opportunities for Ph.D. graduates. [1]
