Bioinformatics graduates can engage in scientific research institutions, universities, pharmaceutical, environmental protection and other related departments and industries, and engage in teaching, scientific research, management, molecular diagnosis of diseases, drug design, biological software development, environmental microbial monitoring and other work.
After graduation, students majoring in bioinformatics can engage in scientific research, teaching and management in bioinformatics research institutions at all levels, universities, enterprises and institutions, and relevant departments involved in bioinformatics in the process of industrialization of research and achievements.
The employment positions of bioinformatics major are: sales representative, medical representative, sales engineer, sales manager, regional sales manager, clinical medicine representative, medical device sales representative, sales assistant, medical device sales staff, sales specialist, sales supervisor, investment manager, etc.
Bioinformatics is a subject that studies the collection, processing, storage, dissemination, analysis and interpretation of biological information. It is also a new discipline formed by the combination of life science and computer science with the rapid development of life science and computer science.
It comprehensively uses biology, computer science and information technology to reveal the biological mystery endowed by a large number of complex biological data.
The stages of bioinformatics:
1. The pre-genomic era (before 1990s) mainly includes the establishment of various sequence comparison algorithms, the establishment of biological databases, the development of retrieval tools, and the analysis of DNA and protein sequences.
2. Genome era (1990s to 200 1) is mainly about large-scale genome sequencing, gene identification and discovery, systematic establishment of network database and development of interactive interface tools.
3. Post-genome era (200 1 present) With the completion of human genome sequencing and genome sequencing of various model organisms, the development of biological science has entered the post-genome era, and the focus of genomics research has shifted from the structure of genome to the function of genes.
