Question

What is actually bioinformatics?

Answer 1

it is a branch of biology that deals with the usage of information technology or computer science.

Answer 2

Bioinformatics and computational biology involve the use of techniques including applied mathematics, informatics, statistics, computer science, artificial intelligence, chemistry, and biochemistry to solve biological problems usually on the molecular level. Research in computational biology often overlaps with systems biology. Major research efforts in the field include sequence alignment, gene finding, genome assembly, protein structure alignment, protein structure prediction, prediction of gene expression and protein-protein interactions, and the modeling of evolution.

Answer 3

Bio + informatics + statistics + mathematics = bioinformatics. This field of biotechnology is used to solve biological problems in molecular level using computer softwares, informatics and biochemistry. A very broad field of study but one of the important  fields.
