Building on the recognition of the importance of information transmission, accumulation and processing in biological systems, in 1978 Paulien Hogeweg, coined the term "Bioinformatics" to refer to the study of information processes in biotic systems.[1] This definition placed bioinformatics as field parallel to biophysics and biochemistry. Examples of relevant biological information processes studied in the early days of bioinformatics are the formation of complex social interaction structures by simple behavioral rules, and the information accumulation and maintenance in models of prebiotic evolution.

At the beginning of the "genomic revolution", the term bioinformatics was re-discovered to refer to the creation and maintenance of a database to store biological information such as nucleotide sequences and amino acid sequences. Development of this type of database involved not only design issues but the development of complex interfaces whereby researchers could access existing data as well as submit new or revised data.

We all know that biological research is a field which is an ongoing process. This has resulted in collection of huge information on biology subject and its developments. Now this data needs to be shared to prepare the knowledge bank which can serve as a tool for future progress. Bioinformatics is playing a good role in this. Data collection, its correlation, analysis and finding the application are mainly possible due to bioinformatics. New improvements in data collection are ongoing process and the challenge is to provide a way to store the data such that it is user-friendly with ability of compatibility with new upcoming ways of data storage. Much new software is now a day’s available for finding the data for specific genome or proteins like Nucleic Acids research database, proteomics database, metabolomics database, gene expression ways, Gene location in genome etc.
Today’s software in bioinformatics are not only user friendly but also have lot of database within the system which provide all option to create own user-friendly interface while working, like workflow systems, which provides user option of sharing the workflow and providing the results online. Galaxy, Taverna is the best examples of it. With the help of Bioinformatics data up to the level of prediction of gene sequence is possible, protein 3-Dimensional modeling with animation are being done in research fields, Also comparison of any cellular morphology with the other tissues of same or other species is easily done. One of the most uses of this database is being one protein engineering technique which provides all information at the time of research which reduces the time and is cost efficient.
