About Event:

Bioinformatics is the application of computer technology for the management of biological information. Computers are used to gather, store, analyze and integrate biological and genetic information which can then be applied to gene-based drug discovery and development. In general, biological data are complex and are existing in different nature including structured, unstructured and semi structured. Thus, Big Data Analytics would be helpful to analyze huge, complex data and provide the insight in timely manner. In addition, analyzing the huge amount of biological data, could help us to extract potentially useful information.
This workshop will provide basic knowledge in the field of big data analytics, bioinformatics and also will provide hands-on experience in working with ‘HDFS’, Map Reduce Programming for solving bioinformatics related problems.
