文摘Though a relatively young discipline, translational bioinformatics （TBI） has become a key component of biomedical research in the era of precision medicine. Development of high-throughput technologies and electronic health records has caused a paradigm shift in both healthcare and biomedical research. Novel tools and methods are required to convert increasingly voluminous datasets into information and actionable knowledge. This review provides a definition and contex- tualization of the term TBI, describes the discipline＇s brief history and past accomplishments, as well as current loci, and concludes with predictions of future directions in the field.
