Broad Coverage of Bioinformatics

Bioinformatics covers many specialized and advanced areas of biology.

Functional genomics:

Identification of genes and their respective functions.

Structural genomics:

Predictions related to functions of proteins.

Comparative genomics:

For understanding the genomes of different species of organisms.

DNA microarrays:

These are designed to measure the levels of gene expression in different tissues, various stages of development and in different diseases.

Medical informatics:

This involves the management of biomedical data with special referee to biomolecules, in vitro assays and clinical trials.
