Bioinformatics:


Human Genome Project was closely associated with the rapid development of a new area in biology called Bioinformatics. The enormous amount of data that had been generated also required the use of high speed computational devices for data storage and retrieval, and analysis. Hence, bioinformatics was developed to create biological databases that stored information. It solved problems of management of data. Bioinformatics has developed new tools and algorithms for efficient use and methods to find relations between the data.
