Abstract
Bioinformatics is a tool, whereas Computational Biology is a discipline. Bioinformatics predicts the biological outcome and can be used to compare the biological data, for example, sequence analyses, structure prediction. In a nutshell, bioinformatics predictions can lessen the scale of experimentation. Bioinformatics can be considered as a method to annotate the newly sequenced genomes. Bioinformatics can be well defined in biological and computational way.
