bioinformatic = informatic (semi-transparent) = bio + informatic
The meaning is built regularly from bio- + informatic, but informatic is a specialized and relatively uncommon base.
Etymology
Bioinformatic comes from the parts bio- meaning 'life' and information meaning 'data'. So, it describes ways of using computers to study data about living things.
