Bioinformatics

Bioinformatics Bioinformatics is a fascinating field that bridges biology, computer science, and mathematics . History :                 The term “bioinformatics” was coined in 1970 by Paulien Hogeweg and Ben Hesper. Initially, it focused on information processes in biotic systems, running parallel to biochemistry. Explosive growth occurred in the mid-1990s, driven by the Human Genome Project and advances in DNA sequencing technology .                           Let’s delve into it:                                                                         Definition: "Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary science that develops methods and software tools for understanding biological data, especially when dealing with large and complex datasets. It involves analyzing and interpreting biological information using techniques from biology, chemistry, physics, computer science, and statistics"   Applications: Genomics: Bioinformatics aids in sequencing and annotating genomes, identi
