Genome Informatics is not only a new area of computer science for genome projects but also a new approach of life science. As the genome projects proceed, genome informatics is becoming more important to bio-industry as well as life science. The major subjects are as follows; Database technologies for integration of various kinds of biological data Knowledge discovery from the integrated databases Interpretation and analysis of DNA sequence data with the databases Computer technologies for simulating life system with knowledge extracted from the databases in order to check the validity of the knowledge In this article, the history and trend of development of computer technologies for the subjects are described except for computer simulation.
