Bioinformatics

Bioinformatics develops and applies computational methods to compute large amounts of biological data, such as DNA sequences, cell populations or protein samples, to make predictions or discover new biology. The computational methods used for analysis and evaluation include analytical methods, mathematical modelling and simulation. Bioinformatics aims at organizing data in a manner that allows scientists to access existing information and to submit new data as it is generated. Secondly, bioinformatics aims to develop tools and resources that aid in the analysis and evaluation of data, for the simple reason that, further research and analysis cannot be carried out only with a straight forward research.  Bioinformatics also aims to utilise these tools to investigate the data and interpret the results in a meaningful manner.
