Abstract:
The refinement and precision of biochemical techniques coupled with enhanced
computer technology, speed and capacity, have resulted in a converged system
of
bioinformatics providing us with means to discover and predict biological
functions on molecular basis. This rapidly emerging field is in line with
explosive growth of
life sciences. There is an ever increasing need to manage integrate and
interrogate vast amounts of information data particularly in genomics The
new sciences of
genomics, proteomics and bioinformatics are providing us with a sense of
continuously emerging revolution in the area of biochemical, and biomedical
sciences. The progress in new technologies involving computer sciences,
information technology and biological and biochemical systems including that
of microarray are likely to translate the biological data into a healthy
future. The search for important patterns from vast amounts of fragmentary
data of genetics sequence may give biological clues to biologically inspired
models and ultimately providing system for artificial neural networks,
genetics algorithms or analog & digital optical pattern recognition.
