Abstract

I discuss the coevolution of bio-ontologies and analytical bioinformatics methods in response to the evolving landscape of life sciences. I focus on the role of ontologies, in particular the Gene Ontology, in capturing and describing biological knowledge, and the challenges and developments in ontology-based bioinformatics, particularly in light of new computational methods and machine learning. The main theme is the bidirectional influence between how ontologies and bioinformatics methods evolved together, and how ontologies have shaped advancements in the analysis, representation, and understanding of biological data by providing a unifying layer of knowledge.
