Computer science plays an important role in biotechnology by enabling the analysis and management of vast amounts of biological and genetic data. Bioinformatics tools allow researchers to gather, store, analyze and integrate various data sources to make new discoveries about gene and protein sequences, structures and functions. These tools include biological databases and software for tasks like sequence alignment, analysis and interpretation of data, and development of algorithms and statistics. The Human Genome Project was a landmark international scientific research project that mapped the human genome with the help of computational analysis and over 3300 billion lines of code.
