*The Phase #2 of the burnination process described [here](https://meta.stackoverflow.com/q/324070), is completed and it has been decided that the tag should NOT be removed from the system.*

[bioinformatics](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/bioinformatics "show questions tagged 'bioinformatics'") is a meta tag, indicating a particular industry while not adding any relevant, problem-specific information. The top questions where this tag has primacy are generally older, opinion based questions: [1](https://stackoverflow.com/q/5250459/1046207) [2](https://stackoverflow.com/q/2527170/1046207) [3](https://stackoverflow.com/q/1235263/1046207) [4](https://stackoverflow.com/q/3759723/1046207). There are plenty of good quality questions with this tag, but the tag itself adds no value to them. I suggest we burninate this tag.
