Bioinformatics

Bioinformatics helps in the processes of genome sequencing, protein structure prediction, gene identification and many more. Basic Local Alignment Search Tool is one of the most important tool used in the field of bioinformatics. Without the use of bioinformatics, the Human Genome Project, the international scientific research project that aimed to determine the base pairs that make up human DNA, and identify, map and sequence all of the genes of the human genome, would not have been successful. This segment offers you more information on the uses of bioinformatics, the various terms and concepts that one comes across in this field as well as the techniques and tools that are used.
