Below are brief descriptions of some of the areas within bioinformatics that opportunities are arising are:

Sequence Assembly: This involves the use of sophisticated computer-based methods to assemble the thousands of fragments that make up the genome of an organism.
Genomic Sequence Analysis: This involves mapping out the regions of a genome that code for a particular protein’s production. It also involves mapping out areas of the gene that is clipped out or discarded. All these are done using sophisticated software programs and results are then compared with databases of already mapped out genes.
Functional genomics: This is the process of determining the functions of genes and determining whether they would suitable for drug discovery.
Genotyping: This involves the discovery of disease causing genes and using that knowledge to identifying individuals who are susceptible to such diseases.
Proteomics: An offshoot of genomic studies, this is the study of the portion of a genome that is expressed in particular cells. This usually involves the use of micro-arrays (a cutting edge technology that allows the expression of level of thousands of genes in a cell sample to be quickly determined) and the results are entered in a database. This area is especially useful for drug and/or gene therapy.
Pharmacogenomics: Here databases of single nucleotide polymorphisms (gene mutations that cause particular disease states or increase/decreased sensitivity to drugs) have an important role to play in future drug development efforts and in the design of clinical trials.
Database Administration: This usually involves the design and maintenance of huge databases of genomic sequence and biochemical information. These databases need to be constantly updated. There is also the involvement in the development of intelligent search algorithms to search through the database and retrieve relevant information.

Global bioinformatics market to quadruple in size - Blog Article - separationsNOW.com According to a new report, the global bioinformatics market will almost quadruple in size over the next six years, from 2.3 billion in 2012 to 9.1 billion in 2018. Much of this growth will be driven by pharmaceutical companies continuing to outsource their requirements for bioinformatics platforms a...
