Bioinformatics and Computational biology is an emerging interdisciplinary research field and is progressively getting used to boost the standard of life. It has boundless importance in the present era when we are dealing with molecules in the range of nano to femtometers. It is no surprise that the worldwide demand for bioinformaticians and computational biology is on the rise. Through the integrative analysis and sequencing of vast data sets, bioinformatics has revolutionized biological science. Over the last 20 years it has accelerated the application of genomics, and it continues to prove crucial in the understanding of diseases like COVID-19. Between 2020 and 2027 the global bioinformatics market is set to increase by 13.4% annually as biological and clinical institutions and businesses seek to deliver more effective and efficient data-based services.
