Role of computer science in biotechnology
- 1. ROLE OF COMPUTER SCIENCE IN BIOTECHNOLOGY 1
- 2. Biotechnology is a broad area of biology, involving the use of living systems and organisms to develop or make products. Depending on the tools and applications, it often overlaps with related scientific fields. In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, biotechnology has expanded to include new and diverse sciences, such as genomics, recombinant gene techniques, applied immunology, and development of pharmaceutical therapies and diagnostic tests.The term "Biotechnology" was first used by "Karl Ereky" in 1919, meaning the production of products from raw materials with the aid of living organisms.

- 4. Medicine : HEAL THE WORLD 4 Biotech is helping to heal the world by harnessing nature's own toolbox and using our own genetic makeup to heal and guide lines of research by: 1 Reducing rates of infectious disease. 2 Saving millions of children's lives; 3 Changing the odds of serious, life-threatening conditions affecting millions around the world; 4Tailoring treatments to individuals to minimize health risks and side effects; 5 Creating more precise tools for disease detection; and 6 Combating serious illnesses and everyday threats confronting the developing world. DNA microarray chip – some can do as many as a million blood tests at once
- 5. Agriculture : FEED THE WORLD • Generating higher crop yields with fewer inputs; • Lowering volumes of agricultural chemicals required by crops-limiting the run-off of these products into the environment; • Using biotech crops that need fewer applications of pesticides and that allow farmers to reduce tilling farmland; • Developing crops with enhanced nutrition profiles that solve vitamin and nutrient deficiencies; • Producing foods free of allergens and toxins such as mycotoxin; • Improving food and crop oil content to help improve cardiovascular health. 5 Biotech improves crop insect resistance, enhances crop herbicide tolerance and facilitates the use of more environmentally sustainable farming practices. Biotech is helping to feed the world by:
- 6. Industrial Areas : FUEL THE WORLD • Streamlining the steps in chemical manufacturing processes by 80% or more; • Lowering the temperature for cleaning clothes and potentially saving $4.1 billion annually; • Improving manufacturing process efficiency to save 50% or more on operating costs; • Reducing use of and reliance on petrochemicals; • Using biofuels to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 52% or more; • Decreasing water usage and waste generation; and • Tapping into the full potential of traditional biomass waste products. 6 Biotech uses biological processes such as fermentation and harnesses biocatalysts such as enzymes, yeast, and other microbes to become microscopic manufacturing plants. Biotech is helping to fuel the world by BIO-FUEL
- 7. Bioinformatics is the computer assisted data management field that helps us : • Gather information • Store information • Analyse information • Integrate biological and genetic information ( data ) Bioinformatics is the “Electronic Infrastructure of Molecular Biology” 7 Computers and Bioinformatics
- 8. • There are many different Bioinformatics tools available online that contains biological databases. Commercial software are also used by researchers • It is associated with massive databases of gene and protein sequences and structure/function information databases • New sequences, new structure, protein or gene function that are discovered, searched, gathered and deposited into databases 8
- 9. What is done ? • Analysis and Interpretation • Development of new Algorithm and Statistics • Development and Implementation of tools 9

- 11. Human Genome project 11 The Human Genome Project (HGP) was an international scientific research project with the goal of determining the base pairs that make up human DNA, and of identifying and mapping all of the genes of the human genome from both a physical and a functional standpoint. It remains the world's largest collaborative biological project. Planning started after the idea was picked up in 1984 by the US government, the project formally launched in 1990, and was declared complete onApril 14, 2003 Logo of Human Genome Project
- 12. Human Genome Project is a scientific research project with the aim to determine the sequence of human DNA. The ultimate goal is to map all the genes of the human genome. It is already the largest collaborative project in biology till date. The project started in 1990 and ended in 2003. The project was performed across twenty different universities. The software for analysing the human genome and map the nucleotide base pairs of DNA took 3300 billion lines of code. In fact, the coding took more time than the actual execution of the project 12 Human Genome project The longest written code till date
