Bio- Informatics

Canada's Bio-Informatics Sector
ehealthBio-informatics is the use of computer software, programs, networks, and databases to organize, store, and analyse biological information. It is the field of science where biology, computer science, and information technology converge as a single discipline. Advances in genomics and proteomics produce a better understanding of biological systems and living organisms. Researchers require the advanced computer and statistical techniques made possible through bio-informatics in order to organize, store, and analyse the large amounts of biological data created through modern biotechnologies.
