The unifying principle in almost all of bioinformatics is sequence analysis: no matter if you are predicting the structure of proteins, analyzing the genetic variation in a population, or deciphering the evolutionary history of your favorite gene, your analysis hinges on looking at biological sequences and how they change over time, between species, or from gene to gene. Biological sequence analysis is the cornerstone.
