bioinformatic discovery: tools that tell you what you should
know   Work in progress - jotting down ideas to expand on  The
goal of bioinformatics is to better understand the living cell
and how it functions at the molecular level. By analyzing raw
molecular sequence and structural data, bioinformatics research
can generate new insights and provide a "global" perspective of
the cell.  Currently there exist a large number of
bioinformatics tools that allow researchers to analyze specific
features of their biological data. If you are analyzing a DNA
sequence, you can retrieve information regarding the GC content,
repeats in your sequence, open reading frames, among many other
features. The same happens when analyzing amino acid sequences,
with a large number of tools available to retrieve different
protein specific information.  By combining a group of tools
focused on specific features, it would
