The Intersection of Genetics and Biomedical Informatics

Abstract

Smiley Mooney*

The intersection of genetics and biomedical informatics represents a convergence of two rapidly advancing fields, each contributing crucial insights to our understanding of human health, disease, and the molecular mechanisms that drive them. Over the last few decades, the field of genetics has made monumental strides, driven by advances in DNA sequencing technologies, molecular biology, and computational tools. Simultaneously, biomedical informatics has emerged as an essential discipline, harnessing the power of data science, machine learning, and statistical modelling to process and interpret vast amounts of biological and medical data.
