Usage
"bioinformatics algorithms" versus "bioinformatic algorithms"
Hi,
I'm wondering which is better to say:
... designed bioinformatics algorithms
... designed bioinformatic algorithms
Also, if I throw in an adjective like innovative after the word designed, would it need a comma?
Thanks for your help.

I have been designing bioinformatics algorithms for years. This is the first I have heard the word "bioinformatic". Seems a bit like "mathematic".
