'''Bioinformatics''' ({{IPAc-en|audio=en-us-bioinformatics.ogg|ˌ|b|aɪ|.|oʊ|ˌ|ɪ|n|f|ɚ|ˈ|m|æ|t|ɪ|k|s}}) is an [[interdisciplinary]] field of [[science]] that develops methods and [[Bioinformatics software|software tool]]s for understanding [[biology|biological]] data, especially when the data sets are large and complex. Bioinformatics uses [[biology]], [[chemistry]], [[physics]], [[computer science]], [[computer programming]], [[Information engineering (field)|information engineering]], [[mathematics]] and [[statistics]] to analyze and interpret [[biological data]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Gagniuc |first1=Paul |title=Algorithms in Bioinformatics: Theory and Implementation |date=17 August 2021 |publisher=Wiley |isbn=978-1-119-69796-1 |pages=1-528 |edition=1 |url=https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/book/10.1002/9781119698005 |language=en}}</ref> The subsequent process of analyzing and interpreting data is referred to as [[computational biology]].
