Bioinformatics field of study involves the application of knowledge in computer science and information technology to analyze, interpret and organize a wealth of genomic and proteomic data which are increasing in recent years. It is one of the vital components in the field of systems biology which emphasizes the study of organisms as a complete living system, which comprises of individual biological components: from molecules to cell, its metabolic pathways and their interactions. This field of study involves a cascade of multidisciplinary approaches ranging from bioinformatics, genomics, proteomics, cell and protein biochemistry, basic genetics and many more. Knowledge in system biology is crucial to reveal and understand gene and protein networks involved in individual cell signalling, communications between cells in communities and cellular metabolic pathways. This field of study is emerging as central to most areas of biology and medicine.
