Introduction

Bioinformatics simplifies the complex human data and also revolutionized the modern sciences as human genome contains most complex data to understand. Bioinformatics not just simply the data but it also link the data and provide new insights in it.

This article outlines the basic information about bioinformatics and its importance in modern sciences.

What is Bioinformatics?

Bioinformatics is the field of science that uses different tools of stats to collect, store, organize and analyze large and complex informational data about medical and health and inter-link this data to provide new insight in human genome.

Bioinformatics- Introduction

What bioinformatics do

As Bioinformatics is an advanced field of science so it results in many questions like what bioinformatics actually do? How bioinformatics works? What does bioinformatics means?

So to make it simplify one should consider this aspect that bioinformatics involves storing, processing and analyzing the different data gathered from different experiments. It includes these basic steps

• Creating databases to store information
• Initiating a process
• Analyzing all the chemical reactions

Data type used in Bioinformatics

• Transcriptomics- the study of full set of RNA transcripts in a cell
• Proteomics- the study of complete protein set in a cell or system
• Phenomics- the study of phenotypes at genomic level
• Chemoinformatics- analysis of chemical and biochemical data

Data type of Bioinformatics

Bioinformatics for beginners

Bioinformatics is a broad field so one desiring to know how to become a Bioinformatician and understand it fully, must have the knowledge about coding and programming. Beside this one should also consider the other biological fields that are relevant to bioninformatics to answer all the questions necessary to simply the information.

Bioinformatics and other Fields

Importance of Bioinformatics

Bioinformatics has transformed the biological research approach. Key benefits of bioinformatics include

• Efficiency
• Accuracy
• Data integration
• innovation

Challenges in Bioinformatics

Although bioinformatics has revolutionized the biological fields with its accuracy and advancement but still it has some limits that has to be considered while handling the data with it. Some main challenges are as follows

• Data overloading: although bioinformatics is used to simply the data but amount of data can hinder its working
• Data privacy: while handling the crucial data it is very important to ensure its safety and privacy
• Complexity: biological data itself is very complex so it is very difficult to analyze and simply it even with the use of bioinformatics tools

Bioinformatics vs. Biostatistics

Although it seems that both these fields cover the same area of data and information but in general they both are different. Biostatistics is the branch of statistics that combines stats and biology and mostly

addresses the study of a certain illness and its prevalence related to an activity.

While bioinformatics is the field that uses different tools to simplify a complex biological data to answer more complex questions related to genome.

Conclusion

Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary field that uses different tools to store, process and analyze and interpret complex biological data. This field is now revolutionizing genomics, personalized medicine and biotechnology. It also enables the researchers to decode a complex data so that this data can be used for the betterment of living things and their surroundings.
