Bioinformatics

Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary field that combines biology, computer science, and mathematics to analyze and interpret biological data. It plays a crucial role in genomics, drug discovery, personalized medicine, and biotechnology. Key areas in bioinformatics include:

Genomics & Proteomics – Analysis of DNA, RNA, and protein sequences

Computational Biology – Algorithm development for biological data

Molecular Modeling – Simulation of molecular structures

Systems Biology – Study of complex biological interactions

Artificial Intelligence in Biology – Use of AI/ML for predictions in medical research
