Bioinformatics is the application of computer science and information technology to the field of biology and medicine. It involves the development of software tools and databases to analyze and interpret biological data. Bioinformatics is used to study genes and proteins, to understand the structure and function of biological systems, and to develop new drugs and treatments.
Bioinformatics is a rapidly growing field, with many companies offering products and services to support research and development. Companies such as Illumina, Thermo Fisher Scientific, and Qiagen provide sequencing and analysis tools, while companies such as Bio-Rad and Agilent Technologies offer instrumentation and reagents. Other companies, such as IBM and Microsoft, provide cloud-based solutions for data storage and analysis. Additionally, there are many software companies that specialize in bioinformatics, such as CLC Bio, Partek, and GeneGo. Show Less Read more
