``Biologists that reduce bioinformatics to simply "the application of computers in biology" sometimes fail to recognize the rich intellectual content of bioinformatics. Bioinformatics has become a part of modern biology and often dictates new fashions, enables new approaches, and drives further biological developments.'' Jones N.C. and Pevzner P. A. (2004) An Introduction to Bioinformatics Algorithms. MIT Press, p. 77.
