Bioinformatics as emerging tool and pipeline framework

Abstract

Biological data are being produced at phenomenal rate and storing, analyzing and interpreting such data in a meaningful way is assuming greater significance. In this article, we will discuss the areas of origin of bioinformatics in the human health care system. Due to the growing network of biological information databases such as human genomes, transcriptomics and proteomics, bioinformatics has become the approach of choosing forensic sciences. High-throughput bioinfor-matic analyses increasingly rely on pipeline frameworks to process sequence and metadata. Here we survey and compare the design philosophies of several current pipeline frameworks.The contributions from the field of biological and medical sciences have facilitated a tremendous increase in the data on various aspects as highlighted above in the text. The results of genomic research will bring a revolution into the field of medicine. The links between various databases of biological and medical significance are important and bioinformatics plays a very vital role in this direction.
