Bioinformatics: Technologies and Global Markets


 

NEW YORK, April 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:

STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

BCC Research's goal for this study is to provide a comprehensive analysis of the bioinformatic market by reviewing the recent advances in high-throughput 'omic technologies and computer-enabled technologies that have driven the field forward. It examines the market trends and analysis regarding industry service providers, software solution developers, and IT and bioinformatics service providers that support the pharma industry.

The report's main focus is on identifying the challenges and opportunities that exist in the bioinformatic market following the adoption of high- throughput technologies and the generation of big data. It aims to identify innovative companies and institutes that are extending the boundaries of science and technology to develop innovative solutions and enable knowledge to be extracted from burgeoning data so that it may be put to use for the greater good.

REASONS FOR DOING THE STUDY

Since the Human Genome Project was completed in April 2003, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have contributed toward a greater understanding of the genetic basis of complex diseases and advances in high-throughput technologies. This has enabled researchers to rapidly map the genome of vertebrates, invertebrates and pathogens through cost-effective methods.

More recently, improvements in cloud computing capabilities and advances in data-analysis software services have helped to expand the evaluation of available datasets, allowing researchers to build systems biology models of various diseases. Still, the challenge to translate this wealth of information into tangible clinical benefits, to support the development of new therapeutic interventions and to reduce the current prohibitively high cost of drug development remains.

SCOPE OF REPORT

The scope of the study encompasses the global bioinformatic market based on geography, category and application. It provides a detailed analysis of recent advances in 'omic technologies and examines their impact on the bioinformatics market. It discusses the ways in which bioinformatics have been utilized by the pharma and biotech industries to streamline the research and development (R&D) process and improve efficiencies. It provides a detailed analysis of leading countries, companies and technologies that will drive the field forward.

INTENDED AUDIENCE

The study provides a detailed analysis of the economic, technological and potential application of bioinformatics; it also examines the market factors and identifies the market potential through the year 2017. The study is aimed at the pharmaceutical industry, biotechnology firms, research laboratories and individuals interested in exploiting the commercial opportunities offered in this field.
