The information collected is used to understand the molecular mechanisms of the disease. This assists in developing better treatments, cures, as well as preventative tests. Previously, sequencing-related projects were not affordable to small research centers and companies due to the high cost of sequencing. However, due reduced costs, many scientific research institutes and biotech companies have taken initiatives to perform sequencing studies. Similarly, sequencing can now be completed within months after the development of bioinformatics tools. As the speed of decoding genetic sequences has increased, the overall cost of sequencing also decreased from 10 dollars per base in 1990 to 10 cents per base by 2003. As a result, the number of companies participating in DNA sequencing projects is increasing owing to reduced costs. This is driving the growth of the bioinformatics market. 4.1.1.2 Increasing funding from government and private organizations Government and private organizations are increasingly investing in the field of bioinformatics to further develop the understanding of the human and microbial genome at the molecular level. In this regard, in April 2013, the Canadian government invested $XX million to enhance bioinformatics and computational biology tools and methodologies which are used in genomics research. This funding helped develop tools for providing better treatments to treat cancer. 4.1.1.3 Rising initiatives by research institutes Initiatives taken by research institutes to provide training for the use of bioinformatics are contributing to the growth of market. For instance, in 2014, Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology (ISMB) conducted a training in Boston(U.S.) which included computational biologists working and running bioinformatics core facilities. Similarly, in February 2013, the European Bioinformatics Institute, Cambridge (U.K.) initiated the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO)practical course on new techniques in metabolomics and usage of various bioinformatics tools. This course aimed to improve ability of researchers to perform researches related with metabolomics and bioinformatics. 4.1.1.4 Increasing information technology (IT) support Over the last few years, there have been many partnerships signed between IT and bioinformatics companies. These partnerships aimed to facilitate the development of bioinformatics tools and databases. In April 2013, Integromics (Spain), the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre in Munich-LRZ (Germany), the Johannes Kepler University of Linz-JKU (Austria), RISC Software (Austria), and Carlos Haya Hospital (Spain) synergized to form a new association for the development of IT solutions. The purpose of this association was to further develop bioinformatics services involved in the analysis and management of macro-datasets produced from genomics research. This association also assists clinical applications based on macro datasets. Thus, growing IT support for the development of bioinformatics is significantly contributing to the growth of bioinformatics market. 7 © MarketsandMarkets Sample Pages Bioinformatics Market – Global Forecast To 2020 4.1.1.5 Growing applications of bio informatics in drug discovery

  • New Technology for the Human Cytome Project
    Journal of Biological Regulators and Homeostatic Agents New technology for the human cytome project A. TÁRNOK Pediatric Cardiology, Heart Center Leipzig GmbH, University Hospital Leipzig, Leipzig, Germany ABSTRACT: Cytomes or cell systems are composed of various kinds of single-cells and constitute the elementary building units of organs and organisms. Their individualised (cytomic) analysis overcomes the problem of averaged results from cell and tissue homogenates where molecular changes in low frequency cell populations may be hidden and wrongly interpreted. Analysis of the cytome is of pivotal importance in basic research for the understanding of cells and their interrelations in complex environments like tissues and in predictive medicine where it is a prerequisite for individualised preventive therapy. Analysis of molecular phenotypes requires instrumentation that on the one hand provides high-throughput measurement of individual cells and is on the other hand highly multiplexed, enabling the simultaneous acquisition of many parameters on the single cell level. Upcoming technology suitable to this task, such as slide based cytometry is available or under development. The realisation of cytomic technology is important for the realisation of the human cytome project.

Other omics disciplines, including those of epigenetics and microRNA, are matters of increasing concern. The increased use of the omics approach in food science owes much to the recent advancement of technology and bioinformatic methodologies. Moreover, many researchers now put the combination of multiple omics analysis (integrated omics) into practice to exhaustively understand the functionality of food components. However, data analysis of integrated omics requires huge amount of work and high skill of data handling. A database of nutritional omics data was constructed by the authors, which should help food scientists to analyze their own omics data more effectively. In addition, a novel tool for the easy visualization of omics data was developed by the authors’ group. The tool enables one to overview the changes of multiple omics in the KEGG pathway. Research in traditional and complementary medicine will be further facilitated by promoting the integrated omics research of food functionality. Such integrated research will only be possible with the effective collaboration of scientists with different backgrounds.
