Abstract
Genomic medicine is the use of an individual's genomic information to benefit the decision making in clinical treatment procedures such as disease diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy. As a result, genomic medicine has implications in cancer, pharmacology, rare and unknown diseases, and infectious diseases. With the advent of high - resolution and rapid genetic testing, thousands of genes have been able to be identified in complex biological samples. Bioinformatics is a crucial step in dealing with big data that may represent a large number of genes or genetic information that are significant in medical and health sciences research. Consequently, bioinformatics has become an essential component of clinical laboratories for the creation, processing, preservation, and interpretation of data from molecular genetic testing. This article provides an overview of the bioinformatics ideas and aspects used in genomic testing. Furthermore, we explore the application of bioinformatics in cancer research, as well as the implications of bioinformatics for the COVID-19 pandemic. Integrating multidisciplinary knowledge is important for overcoming the challenges of acquiring bioinformatics data suited for genomic medicine.
