As interdisciplinary in the field of science, bioinformatics is a combination of biology, computer science, mathematics and statistics to analyze and explain biological data. Bioinformatics uses mathematical and statistical techniques to analyze biological query by computers. Bioinformatics has been an important part of many biological areas.

        The China-Germany Biological Information Summer Research and Training Program is held for the first time in 2008. The group has 7 students led by Professor CHEN Ming. The group set of on July 31^st and come back on August 15^th, lasting 15days.
