Hi Ruchira,

The contribution of bioinformatics advances made possible the mapping of the entire human genome and genomes of many other organisms in just over a decade. Several new discoveries and advancements in bioinforamtics, along with current efforts to determine gene and protein functions, have improved our ability to understand the root causes of human, animal and plant diseases and find new cures. The bioinformatics have changed a lot in recent years ... please have a look at this paper http://www.ajol.info/index.php/ajb/article/download/58463/46806 hopefully helpful.

Thanks

Hi Ruchira,

Bioinformatics, also called computational biology, has become a corner stone of modern life, and biomedical sciences. Relatively, huge amounts of data from various sectore like genomics, proteomic, transcriptomics, metabolomics, interactomics are being generated in the course of present day research across many of these areas and this trend is likely to continue. Keeping the current requirements in mind the bioinformatics have has evolved at lot in recent years and emerged as a major saviour.
