Abstract
Bioinformatics is a multidisciplinary science that solves and analyzes biological problems. With the quantum explosion in biomedical data, the demand of bioinformatics has increased gradually. Present paper provides an overview of various ways through which the biologists or biological researchers in the domain of neurology, structural and functional biology, evolutionary biology, clinical science, etc., use bioinformatics applications for data analysis to summarise their research. A new perspective is used to classify the knowledge available in the field thus will help general audience to understand the application of bioinformatics.
期刊介绍:
Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary research field that combines biology, computer science, mathematics and statistics into a broad-based field that will have profound impacts on all fields of biology. The emphasis of IJBRA is on basic bioinformatics research methods, tool development, performance evaluation and their applications in biology. IJBRA addresses the most innovative developments, research issues and solutions in bioinformatics and computational biology and their applications. Topics covered include Databases, bio-grid, system biology Biomedical image processing, modelling and simulation Bio-ontology and data mining, DNA assembly, clustering, mapping Computational genomics/proteomics Silico technology: computational intelligence, high performance computing E-health, telemedicine Gene expression, microarrays, identification, annotation Genetic algorithms, fuzzy logic, neural networks, data visualisation Hidden Markov models, machine learning, support vector machines Molecular evolution, phylogeny, modelling, simulation, sequence analysis Parallel algorithms/architectures, computational structural biology Phylogeny reconstruction algorithms, physiome, protein structure prediction Sequence assembly, search, alignment Signalling/computational biomedical data engineering Simulated annealing, statistical analysis, stochastic grammars.
