Abstract
Description
Bioinformatics has been a useful tool for the advancement and enhancement of biotechnology in recent
times with its application in various fields. Bioinformatics has thereby helped invent useful products and
create solutions to problems in aspects including utilization of the genome attributes of various living
organisms to acquire a better understanding of their biology. It has been used to understand the biology of
pathogenic microorganism’s product developments such as reverse vaccinology, drug discovery,
personalized medicine, waste clean-up, climate change, and crop improvement. We highlight, in the
section, some of the bioinformatics components of biotechnology that are used for translational research in
the life sciences.
