Abstract

Bioinformatics has provided invaluable tools that revolutionised biological research and paved way to novel insights. The collaborative efforts amid biologists and data scientists have ensued data-driven discoveries and the clinical translation of these discoveries deem progressing. Various national and international initiatives on bioinformatics and big data have been fruitful in combating the challenges associated with the use of bioinformatics and computational biology in life science research.
