MICHAN AGUIRRE, LAYLA; ALVAREZ, EDUARDO  y  MONTOYA PEREZ, LAURA ELIZABETH. The Informatics (R) Evolution in Biology:: The Case of Genomics. Acta biol.Colomb. [online]. 2011, vol.16, n.3, pp. 115-128. ISSN 0120-548X.

Biology has been revolutionized by the introduction of new disciplines, such is the case of genomics that introduced in the 80s has turned unlikely to modern science, the discipline refers to the study not only of genes but their roles, relations among themselves and with the environment. Arises, with the consolidation of the Human Genome Project and introduces us to a period of transition in which specific genetic knowledge becomes critical. Differs from other approaches in the type of information provided, the prospects for technical and intellectual improvements in the collection and use of data from the whole genome. A brief bibliometric analysis which shows the development and the main trends of this biological discipline in vogue.
