Biotechnology is the application of science and technology to living organisms, as well as their parts, products and models, with the aim of altering living or non-living materials for the production of knowledge, goods and services.

Bioinformatics is a multidisciplinary area, which involves chemistry, physics, computing and biomedical sciences and, as it passes through several areas of knowledge, it allows efficient access and management of different types of information, especially in frontier areas of knowledge. The applications of bioinformatics allow: genome assembly, comparative genomics, analysis of gene expression, gene regulation networks, study of metabolism, analysis of the structure of macromolecules, drug design and advances in evolutionary and synthetic biology.
