In this study, the researcher attempt to reverse this relationship, for under the assumption of co-evolution of technology and institutions, both shape each other rather than one alone shaping the other. In testing the relationships between the biotechnology firms and bioinformatics firms of the most active countries in these sectors, the logistic regression results produce three groups of countries: (a) those that significantly positively influence bioinformatics because of biotechnology activity, (b) those that significantly negatively influence bioinformatics because of biotechnology activity, and (c) those that remain indifferent.10aBioinformatics growth10aComputational techniques1 aAl-Tameem, A.A.  uhttp://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-56849106044&partnerID=40&md5=8de93884e0b90b4cb04af4dbef44126b
