Bioinformatics - Solving Biological Problems Using DNA and Amino Acid

Bioinformatics - Solving biological Problems Using DNA and Amino Acid Sequences1. Introduction In the evoke of Genomic revolution, biology that employ to be a lab-based science has transformed to plow Information science. adult male Genome Project is a 13-year project focusing on identifying approximately 30,000 genes in human DNA. The information found is stored in databases, canvas and used for different purposes like simplifying diagnosis of disease, earlier detection of communicable predisposition to specific disease, custom drugs, gene therapy, gene replacement technologies 1. scientific advancement has been one of the contributors for the early completion of this project. Computer technology has facilitated in managing and using the deluge of biological data, and various software tools are used to model biological structures in biotechnology. The simplest definition of the biotechnology industry is that it deals with the exercise of biological knowledg e and techniques pertaining to molecular, cellular and genetic processes to develop products and services. The applications range from floriculture (genetically modified food, insect resistant fibre, food processing), industrial (biofuels, bioenzymes in befoulment control) and medical biotechnology (diagnosing diseases, developing new drugs). The ethical issues of Bioinformatics data accumulation and use of human biological data is being analyzed in this paper.2.
