Bioinformatics for that matter uses computers to store and evaluate molecular biological data. Bioinformatics help solve complex problems of molecular biology and can also help predict the outcome of biological processes and simulate macromolecules. In short, bioinformatics can be referred to describe any use of computers for the purpose of biology. Bioinformatics can also be defined as the science of understanding, managing, and processing biological information. It is often focused on obtaining biologically oriented data, managing this information into databases, and developing methods to integrate pertinent data from disparate sources.The global bioinformatics market has grown significantly since the late 1990s. According to the market research firm Persistence Market Research (PMR), the global bioinformatics market was valued at US$4,110.6 million in 2014, the global bioinformatics market will be worth US$12,542.4 million by 2020, with a healthy CAGR of 20.4 percent during the forecast period of 2014-2020. Bioinformatics finds its application in genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, transcriptomics, molecular phylogenomics, and chemoinformatics, and drug design. The growing applications of bioinformatics in drug discovery and development, and bioinformatics support development of biomarkers for safer drugs are contributing to the growth of the bioinformatics market. In addition, nanopore sequencing technology provides a good opportunity for companies in the market to expand their operations. Two of the latest trends influencing the bioinformatics market include a growing number of mergers and acquisitions and new product innovation.The current issue of CIO Applications brings to you, the Bioinformatics Special, presenting to you insights from industry thought leaders and innovative solution providers from the world of sport.
