ABSTRACT

The Human Genome Project and subsequent sequencing endeavours have propelled the generation of an unparalleled wealth of biological data, necessitating sophisticated tools for analysis and interpretation. Bioinformatics emerges as a pivotal discipline, seamlessly integrating computational methodologies with biological insights to unravel complex biological phenomena. Defined as the application of computational tools for biological data analysis, bioinformatics operates at the intersection of computer science, mathematics, physics, and biology. In this paper, we delineate the foundational tools employed by bioinformaticians and elucidate their role in deciphering biological data, thereby enhancing our comprehension of diseases. Furthermore, we explore the burgeoning clinical implications of these insights in the realms of drug discovery and development. By harnessing the power of bioinformatics, we stand at the forefront of a transformative era in medicine, poised to revolutionize therapeutic interventions and advance human health.
