उत्तर
Bioinformatics is the application of computational and statistical techniques to the field of molecular biology. It solves the practical problems arising from the management and analysis of biological data. After the Human Genome Project (HGP) was completed, the field of bioinformatics emerged. This is due to the vast amount of data generated during the HGP process that must be managed and stored for easy access and interpretation by various scientists. Hence, bioinformatics involves the creation of biological databases that store vast amounts of biology information.
It develops certain tools for easy and efficient access to information and its utilisation. Bioinformatics has developed new algorithms and statistical methods to find out the relationship between the data, to predict protein structure and their functions, and to cluster the protein sequences into their related families.
