Bioinformatics and eScience

This paper gives a brief overview of the diverse field of bioinformatics, identifying research themes. It then introduces the BBSRC funded eScience pilot projects against this overview by presenting their biological aims. Areas of the eScience programme addressed by these projects are identified to determine the contribution they are expected to make to eScience. This covers contributions to the developing Grid middleware and associated eScience standards as well as their bioinformatics goals.
