Abstract
Bioinformatics uses computationally intensive approaches to make sense of complex biological data sets. Here we review the role of bioinformatics in 3 areas of biology: genetics, transcriptomics, and microbiomics. Examples of bioinformatics in each area are given with respect to psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, related inflammatory disorders at the forefront of bioinformatic research in dermatology. While bioinformatic technologies and analyses have traditionally been developed and deployed in siloes, the field of integrative omics is on the horizon. Powered by the advent of machine learning, bioinformatic integration of large data sets has the potential to dramatically revolutionize our knowledge of pathogenetic mechanisms and therapeutic targets.
期刊介绍:
Seminars in Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery (SCMS) presents well-rounded and authoritative discussions of important clinical areas, especially those undergoing rapid change in the specialty. Each issue, under the direction of the Editors and Guest Editors selected because of their expertise in the subject area, includes the most current information on the diagnosis and management of specific disorders of the skin, as well as the application of the latest scientific findings to patient care.
