(September 2004) It is well acknowledged that scientific information is being generated at an exponentially increasing rate. One recent molecular biology endeavor is of particular public interest: The Human Genome Project (HGP) sequenced and mapped the complete human genome. Though the HGP was completed successfully, the work of the HGP is far from over. The structure, function, and molecular mechanisms of all the genetic elements comprising the human genome have yet to be discovered. Bioinformatics is one approach being used in this area. Bioinformatics can be defined as the application of computing tools to biological problems. The Internet provides an…
