Metabolomics is outlined as the ample analysis of metabolites in a biological specimen, thus is an embryonic technology that holds potential to inform the drill of precision medicine. The objective of precision medicine is to design disease prevention and clinical care approaches taking into depiction individual variability in environment, lifestyle, genetics, and molecular phenotype. Metabolomics presents a significant analytical confront because, unlike genomic and proteomic methods, it aims to measure molecules that have disparate physical properties.

It aims to develop and use efficient algorithms, data structures, visualization and communication tools with the goal of computer modelling of biological systems. Systems Biology approach harnesses the power of computation and systems-level analyses to formulate and solve critical biological problems. This integrative approach of systems biology will close the loop from individual genetics to populations, and constitute the strongest asset for the successful translation of systems biology findings to clinical applications. Systems Biology deals with data and models at many different scales, from individual molecules through to whole organisms. 

Theoretical Biology & Bioinformatics practices computational methods to report biological questions within their own biological focus area.

Some use bioinformatics, whereas others use modeling and quantitative biology, or evolutionary agent based modeling. Bioinformatics is obviously needed for the storage and primary analysis of these huge volumes of biomolecular data. 

The Pan Genome considers the aspects of the “core genome” which represents in all the strains, “dispensable genome” also present in two or more strains and “unique genome” specified to single strains. The importance of the pan-genome turns up in an evolutionary framework, especially with relevance to Metagenomics, but is also used in an extensive genomics framework.  The two types of Pan Genomes are Closed Pan Genome which has insufficient genes added per additional sequenced genome whereas Open pan Genome have sufficient genes added per additional sequenced genome. 

Proteomics is a branch of molecular biology that is concerned with the systematic, high-throughput approach to protein expression investigation of an organism or a cell. It is a large-scale comprehensive study of a specific proteome, including information on protein affluence, their variations and alterations, along with their interacting partners and networks, in order to discern cellular processes. Proteomics enables the understanding the structure, function and interactions of the entire protein content in a specific organism. Bioinformatics for proteomics has grown significantly in the recent years.

Genomics includes the study of genomes, particularly the set of techniques, analytical methods, and scientific questions related to the study of complete genomes. Scientists have progressed from the analysis of a small number of genes to the analysis of thousands of genes, from the study of the units of inheritance to the whole genome of an organism. Genomics straps the availability of complete DNA sequences for entire organisms by the latest next-generation sequencing technology.

Genomics and bioinformatics are now poised to revolutionize the healthcare system by developing customized and personalized medicine.

Biodiversity informatics though diverse but interrelated to Bioinformatics. It is a new discipline with hundreds of experts worldwide involved with the design and edifice of biology information system. Biodiversity informatics may also have to manage with supervision information from unidentified taxa that is produced by environmental sampling and sequencing of mixed-field samples. It is made on the basis of taxonomic, biogeographic and ecological information stockpiled in digital form using current computer techniques to yield novel ways to view and evaluate existing information. 

The computationally predicted DNA secondary structure maps could serve as a roadmap for experimentalists to target specific genomic regions while testing their hypotheses. The project will require both development of bioinformatics algorithms and experimental techniques to facilitate progress in this field. Thus, computational prediction remains the major tool to reveal genomic DNA regions with the potential to adopt non-B DNA structures. 

Biomedical informatics (BMI) is the interdisciplinary, scientific arena that educates and follows the effective customs of biomedical data, information, and information for precise survey, problem elucidating and resolution constructing, motivated by exertions to progress social health. Healthcare Informatics is the application of information technology and informatics to provide healthcare services. It is concerned with the use of information in health care by clinicians. The analytical capability of bioinformatics podium united with clinical data from patient in Electronic Medical Reports can affirm potential biomarkers and clinical phenotypes that allow researchers to develop experimental strategies using selected patient.

Structural bioinformatics is a sub discipline of bioinformatics that deals with the three dimensional structures of biomolecules. This field portrays the goals to create methods for manipulating information about biological macromolecules and the application of these methods to solve problems in biology and creating new knowledge. Evolutionary Bioinformatics is an advanced discipline that addresses the practice of data processing and the engineering of data for the investigation of biological evolution. The study of evolutionary biology uncovers that living beings of different types which were previously oblivious originated over the span of numerous eras mostly through moderate and progressive alterations.

Moonlight acts as transcription factors, crystallins, chaperones, extracellular growth factors and cell surface adhesins. Variability of identified moonlight proteins where one protein will have several functions, the potential profits to the organism of linking two utilities in one protein, and the approaches recommended for a protein to develop a second function recommend that moonlighting proteins might be common.

Immunology involves the development and application of methods of bioinformatics, mathematics and statistics for the study of immune system biology. Through drug discovery mechanism new drugs can be discovered and designed and the causes of the diseases can be analyzed and ways could be found to tackle them. The modern drug discovery process integrates the understanding of the molecular basis for a disease with crucial understanding of how potential drug molecules interact with particular disease targets and the whole organism. Bioinformatics is a growing field which can explore the causes of diseases at the molecular level, explain the occurrence of the diseases from the genetic angle and make use of computer techniques to diminish the scope of study and enhance the efficiency of the results so as to curtail the cost and time.

Genetics allows us to understand normal events such as development, growth and ageing in terms of the underlying molecular machinery of the cell. Genetics and Immunology, aiming to instil a broad base of knowledge at molecular, cellular and organismal levels. The study in immunology and genetics will help you understand why susceptibility to infectious disease differs between individuals. Identification of genes defining the immune defects may identify new target genes for therapeutic approaches. Alternatively, genetic variations can also help to define the immunological pathway leading to disease.
