Definition: A collection of related data arranged in a way suitable for adding, locating, removing and modifying the data
The database which store biological data is called biological database Eg: nucleotide sequence database
• Stored as text files-flat file data base
• As tables- relational data bases
• Object oriented database
Bio informatics tools developed based on 3 central processes
• DNA sequence which determines protein sequence
• Protein sequence which determines protein structure
• Protein structure which determines protein function
All the data derived from the above processes represent biological data.
These are the biological data types

These are the biological data types
- nucleotide sequences
- gene level or expression data
- protein sequences
- proteins sequence patterns or motifs
- macromolecular 3D structure
- metabolic pathways
