What is Bioinformatics?
Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary field that uses computational tools to deal with large and complex biological datasets. Bioinformatics overlaps with biology, computer science, mathematics, information engineering, and statistics to apply computational research on experimental biology research.
It involves various processes for the analysis of biological data, such as:
-
Retrieving
-
Storing
-
Organizing
-
Analyzing
-
Visualizing

What’s The Difference Between Bioinformatics And Computational Biology?
Biology made it possible for us to understand how the machine or the body with a life works. We used the principle of Physics and Chemistry in Biology and created separate fields of study which we refer to as Biophysics and Biochemistry respectively. Bioinformatics use the Mathematical, Statistical and Computational approach to solve the problems related to Biology. Bioinformatics is more about utilizing the biological data and expanding your skills to deal with these biological data by database and software development.

Why Should You Learn Bioinformatics?
-
Learning Bioinformatics can enhance your biology career and research by a great merging as compared to other biologists with lack of Bioinformatics knowledge and skills.
-
Bioinformatics analysis provides an understanding of the huge mass of biological datasets that is being produced as a result of the post-genomic era, hence, playing an essential role in the biomedical and biotechnological research areas of this century.
-
Expertise in the field of Bioinformatics is highly valued. The employability of bioinformaticians keeps broadening up due to innovative technological advances in the field of bioinformatics and the ability of bioinformaticians to changes are their intrinsic traits.
-
Bioinformaticians are in high demand in academia, research and industry because of the fact that a very few people have the education and skills to fill the available positions.
-
Bioinformaticians enjoy a vast range of research and professional jobs and earn competitive starting salaries. Learning bioinformatics is a determined bet to professional success.
Impact of Bioinformatics
Genomic Data Analysis
Analyzing and interpreting genomic data/sequences that go through sequence assembly and annotation for the identification of a particular species/organism/gene.
Gene Expression Analysis
Measuring the mRNA levels through various techniques is the basics for understanding the expression patterns of genes and proteins.
Prediction of Evolutionary Relationships
Comparing the biological datasets helps in comprehending the evolutionary basis of organisms, predicting speciation, allows the study of complex evolutionary events, and much more.
Health & Medicinal Advancements
These practices are targeting personalized medicine and specific diseases, such as cancer. Cancer Bioinformatics playing an important role in the identification and validation of networks to dynamic network biomarkers.
