ABSTRACT: The bioinformatics opened new dimensions for the scientists working in biological science and growth of biological information as a result of extraordinary progress in the experimental sciences of molecular biology, structural biology and biotechnology. Bioinformatics is an interface between biological and computational sciences, it is an application of computational techniques, which helps us understand and organize the information associated with biological macromolecules. India is one of the few countries of the world to implement the idea of distributed resources in biotechnology through the biotechnology information system network that currently comprises many bioinformatics centers. Bioinformatics is the convergence of analytical and computational tools with the discipline of biotechnology research and a major contributor to the drug discovery or gene therapy research programs in biotechnology.
