The Genomic era has seen a massive explosion in the amount of Biological information available due to huge advanced in the fields of molecular biology and genomic. 

Bioinformatics is the applications of computer technology to the management and analysis of Biological data. The result is that computers are being used to gather Store analyze and merge biological data. 

Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary research area that is interface between the biological and computational sciences. The ultimate goal of Bioinformatics is to uncover the wealth of biological information hidden in the mass of data and obtained a knowledge could have profound on fields as varied as human health, agriculture Environment Energy and Biotechnology.

The Greatest challenge facing the molecular biology community today is to make sense of the wealth of that has been produced by the genome sequencing projects. The traditionally molecular biology research was carried out entirely at the experimental laboratory bench but the huge increase in the scale of data being produced in the genomic era has seen a need to incorporate computers into this research process.

Sequence generation and its subsequent storage, interpretation and analysis are entirely computer dependent tasks. However, a Molecular biology of an organism is a very complex issue with research being carried out at different levels including the genome, proteome tanscriptome and Metabalome levels.

The First challenge facing the Bioinformatics community today is the intelligent and sufficient storage of this mass data. It is then their responsibility to provide easy and reliable access to this data. The data itself is Meaningless before analysis and shear volume present makes it impossible for even a trained biologist to begin to interpret it manually. There fore incisive computer tools must be developed to allow the extraction of meaningful biologics information.

There are three central biological processes around which Bioinformatics tools must be developed.

The integration of information learnt about these key biological processes should allow us to achieve a long term goal of complete understanding of the biology of organisms.
