Bioinformatics tools are software programs or algorithms used to analyze and interpret biological data, typically in the fields of genomics, proteomics, and other omics disciplines. These tools help researchers to manage, visualize, and analyze large datasets to extract meaningful biological insights. Common bioinformatics tools include sequence alignment programs, genome browsers, gene prediction tools, and pathway analysis software. These tools are essential for researchers to make sense of complex biological data and are widely used in areas such as drug discovery, personalized medicine, and agricultural biotechnology.
