Review: Current Applications of Bioinformatics in Various Fields
Abstract
The study of information gathering, processing, and analysis techniques and technology in the biological sciences is known as bioinformatics. Its goal is to develop a number of computing technologies and procedures by analyzing, storing, and transmitting data derived from several scientific fields, including genetics, cell biology, and molecular biology. The advent of bioinformatics represents a significant turning point in the advancement of computer technology and life sciences. The emergence and advancement of bioinformatics have significantly influenced contemporary biology and medical research. The advancement of molecular medicine, gene therapy, medication discovery, crop improvement, microbiology, oncology, vaccine development, food microbiology, insect resistance, forensic analysis of microbes, waste clean-up and bioenergy and biofuels, has been substantially aided by its use in molecular biology, genetics, cell biology, and other study domains.
