This document summarizes a seminar presentation on using bioinformatics in pandemics. The presentation was given by Puneeth V G at Sahyadri Science College and discussed how bioinformatics can help shorten the time needed to identify drug and vaccine targets during a pandemic. It explained that bioinformatics tools like genome sequencing and comparative genomics can be used to find overlapping genes between host and pathogen genomes, identify unique pathogen sequences, and ultimately find protein targets that could be used for vaccines or drugs. The presentation highlighted that bioinformatics allows for more rapid identification of targets with fewer resources during a pandemic compared to traditional methods.
