(d) Bioinformatics
Bioinformatics- It is a recent and very effective area in the field of biology. In this discipline, the knowledge from the DNA sequences is used for solving various doubt regarding organisms which can not be studied on them in real time. After the human genome project (HGP) was completed, the field of bioinformatics evolved. This is because the HGP process has produced a huge quantity of data that needs to be managed and preserved for future usage by different scientists for simple access and interpretation. It provides specific instruments for quick and easy access to information and its application.
