BASICS OF BIOINFORMATICS

BIOINFORMATICS 


Bioinformatics is the technology that uses computers for storage, retrieval, manipulation, and distribution of information related to biological macromolecules such as DNA, RNA, and proteins.

Difference between Bioinformatics and Computational Biology

∆ Bioinformatics

It is limited to sequence structural and functional analysis of genes and genomes and their corresponding products.
It is often considered computational molecular biology.

∆ Computational Biology

Computational biology encompasses areas of biology that involve computation (e.g., mathematical modeling of ecosystems, population dynamics, application of game theory in behavioral studies).
It does not necessarily involve biological macromolecules.

Bioinformatics consists of two subfields

1. The development of computational tools and databases.
2. The application of these tools and databases in generating biological knowledge to better understand living systems.

If I am a doing MSc in industrial Microbiology and then i am doing bioinformatics course and I learn all tools of bioinformatics so how this thing affect if I go for a job in pharma company's microbiology department and doing a bioinformatics course is increace my salary on company?

The combination of an MSc in Industrial Microbiology and a Bioinformatics course can significantly enhance your career prospects in the pharmaceutical industry's microbiology department. Here's how: Increased Skillset and Versatility:  * Data Analysis: Bioinformatics tools empower you to analyze complex microbial data, including genomic sequences, gene expression profiles, and metagenomic datasets. This analytical capability is highly valuable in modern microbiology research and development.  * Strain Identification and Characterization: Bioinformatics tools can accurately identify microbial strains, track their evolution, and understand their genetic diversity. This knowledge is crucial for strain selection, quality control, and risk assessment in pharmaceutical manufacturing.  * Process Optimization: Bioinformatics can be used to optimize fermentation processes, predict microbial behavior, and improve the efficiency of biopharmaceutical production.  * D...
