Executive Summary
The current study illustrates about the important roles and the applications of bioinformatics, proteomics and genomics in biotechnology. The study clearly describes that bioinformatics, proteomics and genomics play significant roles in drug discovery and designing, agriculture, developing personalized medicines, biomarkers and in many other areas which will be highly useful in the present and also for the future generations of living organisms. Finally, the study also highlights on some points of recent studies on bioinformatics, proteomics and genomics by other researchers that have been conducted and their future capabilities are also clearly mentioned.
1. Introduction
Biotechnology can be generally stated as the discipline that utilizes living organisms or its products for profitable reasons. It is not just an individual technology but rather it is a combination of technologies which contributes to two general characteristics which are operating with the living cells and their molecules and possessing a variety of practical uses which can enhance our lives (Dunnill P., 1981).
2. Definition of Bioinformatics
Bioinformatics is a discipline which is a mixture of molecular biology and computer sciences. In this field the computers are utilized to assemble, accumulate, analyse and incorporate biological and the genetic information of living organisms. The necessity for bioinformatics came during the project to find out the sequence of the whole genome of the human was started (Chris S., 2003). This project was known to be as “Human Genome Project”. This subject is considered to be as very significant for the utilization of genetic information to know about the human diseases and to recognize a novel approaches f...

5. Conclusion
From the study it can be concluded that the methodologies involved in the bioinformatics, proteomics and genomics have lots of applications in biotechnology and the techniques which are involved in these fields can be used to discover novel drugs, understand the functions of genes which cause cancer so that to develop therapeutic drugs in the future and furthermore, from the study it has been known that with the improvement of the technologies related to these fields many challenges like developing a precise medicine for prostate cancer and effective prediction of 3D protein structure can be addressed clearly. The information from the study clearly describes that bioinformatics, proteomics and genomics have great potentials currently as well as in the future if they are enhanced in the appropriate manner.
