Abstract



Bioinformatics has been turning out to be a critical domain within life sciences, especially within biotechnology & biomedical sciences. Bioinformatics is not only essential for management of data in modern biology and medicine. But, it’s also becoming a key component in basic & translational research, development of new diagnostic & therapeutic tools, clinical practice, and personalized medicine. In this article, we will look at the career scopes of bioinformatics and how to make a career in bioinformatics in modern biochemistry research. Sequence or structural data of nucleic acids or peptide chain as well as the experimental data can be used as data by the scientists in the bioinformatics field. Specifically, the area structural biochemistry that involves bioinformatics deals with how sequence alignments are obtained and eventually how the analysis of the sequences can help generate phylogenetic trees. These relations can eventually help contribute knowledge about how structures of macromolecules are displayed and compared with one another. The development of efficient algorithms for measuring sequence similarity is an important goal of bioinformatics in modern biochemistry research.
