Bioinformatics Technology

Bioinformatics technology uses computational tools provided by the information technology revolution, such as statistical software, graphics simulation and database management, to organize and analyze information about biological systems, which, for biotechnology, information about cells and biological molecules.

Bioinformatics technology provides us with tools and methods for consistently organizing, accessing, processing and integrating data from different sources. Bioinformatics technology helps us to (1) map genomes and identify genes, (2) determine protein structure and simulate protein interactions, (3) discover new therapeutic targets and design medicines aimed at the targets and (4) assess the effects of virtual mutations on gene function.
