Abstract

Bioinformatics, and more importantly the general use of computers in the field of Biology, has become a mainstream exercise for today's biologist. So mainstream, that Bioinformatics classes are commonly offered to students in the standard Biology and Computer Science degree programs. This poses a problem for educators since some of the core Bioinformatics programs are still command-line based, requiring a deeper knowledge of computers than a standard biology student is expected to possess. The Composite Interface for Bioinformatics Applications, or CIBA for short, was created to address this issue and allow educators to focus on teaching how the algorithms work as opposed to teaching how the command line works.
