As an interdisciplinary field of science, bioinformatics combines biology, computer science, information engineering, mathematics and statistics to analyze and interpret biological data. Bioinformatics has been used for in silico (performed on computer or via computer simulation) analyses of biological queries using mathematical and statistical techniques. Applications of Bioinformatics: 1. Analyze the biological processes. 2. Aids in improving drug discovery. 3. Help in developing new target drug. 4. Study and research. Need for Bioinformatics: The need for Bioinformatics has arisen from the recent explosion of publicly available genomic information, such as that resulting from the Human Genome
