Bioinformatics has emerged out of the inputs from several different areas such as biology, biochemistry, biophysics, molecular biology, biostatics, and computer science. Specially designed algorithms and organized databases is the core of all informatics operations. The requirements for such an activity make heavy and high level demands on both the hardware and software capabilities.

This sector is the quickest growing field in the country. The vertical growth is because of the linkages between IT and biotechnology, spurred by the human genome project. The promising start-ups are already there in Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune, Chennai, and Delhi. There are over 200 companies functioning in these places. IT majors such as Intel, IBM, Wipro are getting into this segment spurred by the promises in technological developments.

The department of biotechnology (DBT) initiated the program on bioinformatics way back in 1986-87. The Biotechnology Information System Network (BTIS), a division of DBT, has covered the entire country by connecting to the 57 key research centers.
