Bioinformatics is the application of tools of computation and analysis to the capture and interpretation of biological data
Bioinformatics is essential for management of data in modern biology and medicine
The bioinformatics toolbox includes computer software programs such as BLAST and Ensembl, which depend on the availability of the internet
Analysis of genome sequence data, particularly the analysis of the human genome project, is one of the main achievements of bioinformatics to date
Prospects in the field of bioinformatics include its future contribution to functional understanding of the human genome, leading to enhanced discovery of drug targets and individualised therapy
