Often called computational biology, bioinformatics employs algorithms and mathematical methods to model and analyze biological behavior. It uses computers to mimic the movements and "thought patterns" of simple life forms in order to better understand, interpret, and predict real-life actions and functions. Bioinformatics also includes imaging technologies, which aid in medical diagnoses and treatment plans, as well as vision identification, sometimes called biometrics.
