The Goals of Bioinformatics Software

          Bioinformatics tools are software programs that are designed for extracting the meaningful information from the mass of molecular biology / biological databases & to carry out sequence or structural analysis. Listed are the bioinformatics software goal :

1. To spread the knowledge of fundamental biological processes at organism, physiological, cellular and molecular levels.
2. To educate people on basic understanding of principles of chemistry and their applications to living systems, properties of bio-molecules and their contribution to structure and function of cells.
3.  Understanding of computer programming methodology, including algorithm design and program development. Capability of designing and applying software tools for biological data analysis.
4. Proficiency in the use of mathematical tools including discrete mathematics, calculus, and statistics.
5. Integrated knowledge and technical skills gained from diverse scientific disciplines of biochemical, mathematical, computational and life sciences, understanding key problems, possible solutions, and latest advances in bioinformatics.
6. Understanding of the process of scientific inquiry, preparation for rigorous research, quantitative problem solving skills, data analysis and interpretation of results.
