Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary science which uses the applications of computer algorithms to decipher the complexity of biological data. It is of central importance in the genomic and post-genomic age because of the vast amounts of information that are becoming available from different disciplines. Also the advancement of instrumentation for genome sequencing has increase the pace of data generation. Bioinformatic tools enable scientists to effectively collect this data and organize it in a meaningful way so as to give a conclusive answer to our problems.

Sequencing of human, bacterial, rice genomes have unraveled plethora of information which can be put to best use by using bioinformatic tools for genome analysis, protein structure, prediction, target identification, drug-design, and metabolomics and systems biology. A researcher equipped with the knowledge of bioinformatic tools may able to use data more efficiently. The program is designed to provide an experience for an individual from any field to get acquainted with the discipline of genomics and proteomics.
