Explain what future directions your article has with bioinformatics as it relates to either biology, medicine, and/or human health?

Bioinformatics is the application of computer-based digital tools to analyze, extrapolate, and interpretation biological data; and is essential for management of biological data in modern biology and human health. The use of computer software programs such as BLAST and Ensembl have increased collaboration among scientists to contribute to understanding of the human genome and the human health aspects associated with bioinformatics. Bioinformatics has been summarized by the following key principles: • Bioinformatics is the application of tools of computation and analysis to the capture and interpretation of biological data • Bioinformatics is essential for management of data in modern biology and medicine • The bioinformatics toolbox includes computer software programs such as BLAST and Ensembl, which depend on the availability of the internet • Analysis of genome sequence data, particularly the analysis of the human genome project, is one of the main achievements of bioinformatics to date • Prospects in the field of bioinformatics include its future contribution to functional understanding of the human genome, leading to enhanced discovery of drug targets and individualized therapy (Bayat A. (2002). Science, medicine, and the future: Bioinformatics. BMJ (Clinical research ed.), 324(7344), 1018–1022. Question 1: In one page, summarize how your article is associated with bioinformatics. How does your article transform and/or improve human health? Why should future scientist, like yourself, read the article that you have chosen? Question 2: Please explain what future directions your article has with bioinformatics as it relates to either biology, medicine, and/or human health? If your article does not mention this, explain your interpretation of the future directions that bioinformatics has from previous articles that you have read. Question 3: You may agree or disagree, but there are a number of medical doctors that lack the content knowledge and familiarity of bioinformatics. How does your article and the above-mentioned key principles inform, build on or improve science and medical education? Attached below is the article to use.
