Abstract: Bioinformatics is a multidisciplinary science that solves and analyzes biological problems. With the quantum explosion in biomedical data, the demand of bioinformatics has increased gradually. Present paper provides an overview of various ways through which the biologists or biological researchers in the domain of neurology, structural and functional biology, evolutionary biology, clinical science, etc., use bioinformatics applications for data analysis to summarise their research. A new perspective is used to classify the knowledge available in the field thus will help general audience to understand the application of bioinformatics.
Keywords: chemoinformatics; neuroinformatics; structural bioinformatics; functional bioinformatics; evolutionary bioinformatics; clinical bioinformatics; promises; progress.
