What is Bioinformatics?
Bioinformatics is the application of
computational techniques to manage,
analyze, and interpret biological data. It's
the bridge that connects biology with the
power of computer science.
Basics: Cell structure
DNA Replication
RNA Synthesis
Protein Synthesis
Applications of Bioinformatics
Description
Application
Study of genomes, including sequencing, annotation,
and comparative analysis of DNA sequences.
Genomics
Analysis of the structure, function, and interactions of
proteins within a biological system.
Proteomics
Determining and understanding the three-
dimensional structures of biological macromolecules.
Structural Biology
Personalized medicine based on an individual's
genetic makeup to optimize drug treatments.
Pharmacogenomics
Comparing the genomic content and structure across
different species.
Comparative Genomics
Analyzing genetic material directly from
environmental samples to study microbial
communities.
Metagenomics
