Bioinformatics is the use of computer technology for managing biological information. It is a field that brings together genetics and biology with computer science with a good-sized blob of statistics, mathematics and other medical specialties as well. Computers are used for analyzing, integrating, storing and gathering genetical and biological information, which can then be applied to gene-based development and drug discovery. The field of bioinformatics is not just a useful instrument in drug development or biological research, but it is an indispensable friend of researchers.

In India, bioinformatics is at its early stage of development, but the country has some centres for development of applications and tools for bioinformatics. These centres strive to keep the nation in par with some of developed countries in the field of bioinformatics.
