Take a Look at the Key Growth Drivers and Trends in the Global Bioinformatics Industry
Bioinformatics or computational biology is the use of techniques from applied mathematics, informatics, statistics, and computer science to solve biological problems. Basically, bioinformatics involves the creation and development of advanced information and computational technologies for problems in molecular biology. As such, it deals with methods for storing, retrieving and analyzing biological data, such as nucleic acid (DNA/RNA) and protein sequences, structures, functions, pathways and interactions. Bioinformatics as a field of study is becoming increasingly important due to the interest of the pharmaceutical industry in genome sequencing projects.
