An unprecedented wealth of biological data has been generated by the human genome project and sequencing projects
in other organisms.
The huge demand for analysis and interpretation of these data is being managed by the evolving science
of bioinformatics.
Bioinformatics
is defined as the application of tools of computation and analysis to the capture and
interpretation of biological data. It is an interdisciplinary field, which harnesses computer science, mathematics,
physics and biology. It is essential for management of data in modern biology and medicine.
Bioinformatics is a very important field as it has helped the scientists to map the whole human genome computationally.
