    Bioinformatics applies information technology to analyze vast amounts of biological data like protein and nucleic acid sequences. It involves databases like Swiss-Prot that store over 70,000 protein sequences. Software tools are used for tasks like comparing sequences and identifying coding regions. The human genome research has generated huge amounts of sequence data that poses challenges but is also considered the biggest exercise in computational biology. Bioinformatics is key to rational drug discovery by reducing drug screening trials and identifying potential targets. It has also led to the new field of pharmacogenomics and faster molecular modeling. Bioinformatics also helps identify disease resistance genes and design nutritious plants.

    Application of

    computers in
    science and
    research
    Marivelle redoblado bit – 1a1
    bioinformatics
    Bioinformatics is the
    application of information
    technology to store,
    organize, and analyze vast
    structures of proteins– the
    building blocks of organisms
    and nucleic acids– the
    information carrier (Madan,
    n.d.).

    Swiss - prot
    ✗ Initiated in 1986
    ✗ Has about 70, 000 protein sequences from more than 5,000
    model organisms
    ✗ Data resources is now available
    ✗ Made available as public domain information through Internet
    and CD-ROMs

    X BLAST – used for comparing sequences
    X ANNOTATOR – an interactive genome
    analysis tool
    X GENEFINDER – tool to identify coding
    regions and sites
    !!!
    ✗ Sequence information generated by the human
    genome research has now been stored as primary
    information source.
    ✗ Available data is so HUGE.
    ✗ There are present challenges.
    ✗ Can be considered as the “biggest exercise” in the
    history of computational biology (Madan, n.d.).

    Pharmaceutical industry’s pov
    ✗ Bioinformatics is the key to rational drug discovery.
    ✗ Reduces the number of trials in the screening of drug
    compounds.
    ✗ Identifying potential drug targets for a particular
    disease.

    Bioinformatics
    pharmacogenomics
    This profound application of bioinformatics in
    genome sequence has led to a new area in
    pharmacology– Pharmacogenomics, where potential
    targets for drug development are hypothesized from the
    genome sequence.

    Molecular modeling has become faster due to


    advances in computer processors and its architecture.

    9
    Plant biotechnology

    Bioinformatics is found to be useful in the areas of


    identifying diseases resistance genes and designing
    plants with nutrition value (Madan n.d.).
