This new discipline
encompasses all the aspects of biological
information - acquisition, processing, storage,
distribution, analysis and interpretation.
It combines the tools and techniques of Biology,
Computer Sciences, Information Technology and
Mathematics, with the aim of understanding the
biological significance of a variety of data.
Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) - based
identification of genetic disorders and DNA chip
technology to determine errors of gene
expression are revolutionising the rontier areas
of Genomics and Bioinformatics.
