Bioinformatics Applications and Tools: An Overview

O.P. Gupta, Sita Rani

Abstract


Bioinformatics is an amalgamation of computers, statistics and molecular biology to meet new challenges in modern molecular biology and medical research. It deals with large volume of data generated from medical experimentation or collected from various biological data resource like wheat genomics. Its basic purposes involve data management and knowledge discovery. A number of bioinformatics tools are available which are used to represent, analyze voluminous molecular data. Bioinformatics have applications in many research areas, some of them are mature and some are comparatively less explored. So In this paper, various applications and the tools of the bioinformatics are discussed.

Keywords


Bioinformatics, Genome Data, Graphical Tools, Phylogenetic Trees
