Bioinformatics combines computer science, statistics, mathematics, and biology to study and process biological data on a large scale. The document discusses several applications of bioinformatics including information search and retrieval, sequence comparison for genetics, phylogenetic analysis, genome annotation, proteomics, pharmacogenomics, and drug discovery. Tools are provided for various applications such as linkage analysis, phylogenetic analysis, genome annotation, and protein identification.

2. Introduction
 Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary field of science,
bioinformatics combines computer science, statistics,
mathematics, and biological sciences to study and
process biological data.
 Bioinformatics is conceptualizing biology in terms of
molecules and applying informatics techniques to
understand and organise the information associated
with these molecule, on a large scale.
