Computational Biology and Bioinformatics (M.Sc) | Master's degree | Science | On Campus | 2 years | Kadir Has University | Turkey

biology, biotechnology and biosciences have been rapidly developing since 2000. To handle the data produced, computer Technology is required due to the excessive amount of data. Most of the recent techniques used in DNA, RNA and protein based research is supported by bioinformatics and computer science. The computer science offers a new era for the biological sciences. For example the building block of the cell, proteins are modeled in 3D using computer; this enables the rapid and efficient identification of molecular interactions and signal transduction pathways. Similarly, mutations in the genetic sequence can be detected quite fast using the computer Technology. Since the recent advancements in computational biology decreased the cost and accelerated the research processes including the drug development, the ;in silico ;studies are highly demanded in industry. These studies will help therapeutic methods, which will ultimately be used for treatment and increase the quality of life.
