There has been a paradigm shift in our approach to collect biological data in recent years. With the advent of the concept of OMICS (study of the relationships & actions of different molecules that make up the cells of an organism), a number of new technologies are in use to collect these data, but informatic tools that decipher meaningful information out of such data are limited. There is a dearth of skilled manpower equipped to carry out the analysis of OMICS data.
