The Use of Computer Software to Analyze Large Genetic and Protein

Question

The use of computer software to analyze large genetic and protein data sets is known as
A)genomics.
B)proteomics.
C)bioinformatics.
D)sequencing.
E)molecular genealogy.

Accepted Answer

Bioinformatics involves the use of computer software to analyze and interpret large sets of biological data, including genetic and protein data. Genomics and proteomics are more specific fields within bioinformatics, focusing on the study of genomes and proteins, respectively. Sequencing involves determining the order of nucleotides or amino acids in a molecule, which is a key step in genomic and proteomic analysis. Molecular genealogy is a term used in the study of human ancestry and genetic history.
