Bioinformatics is a fast expanding field that analyses and interprets biological data by combining biology, computer science, and statistics. Bioinformatics has a broad scope that includes:
1. Genomics:
Bioinformatics is critical in analysing and interpreting genomic data, which entails the study of an organism's entire set of DNA.
2. Proteomics:
Bioinformatics is used to analyse and interpret the massive amounts of data generated by proteomics, which is the study of an organism's entire collection of proteins.
