Bioinformatics is the application of computer technology to the management of biological information. Computers are used to gather, store, analyze and integrate biological and genetic information which can then be applied to gene-based drug discovery and development. The science of Bioinformatics, which is the melding of molecular biology with computer science, is essential to the use of genomic information in understanding human diseases and in the identification of new molecular targets for drug discovery.

The bioinformatics market is broadly categorized on the basis of sectors, products and services, application and geography. In this market, fastest growing segment is the bioinformatics platforms. According to applications, the bioinformatics market is segmented into genomics, chemoinformatics & drug design, proteomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics and molecular phylogenetics. Genomics is expected to be the fastest growing application segment during the forecast period.
