The funds will help the CanCoGen, or Canada's COVID-19 Genomics Network, HostSeq, and VirusSeq initiatives. Over the anticipated time, these variables are predicted to have a positive impact on the bioinformatics industry.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
The COVID-19 pandemic served as a bioinformatics field test. Every nation has made studying and comprehending how to stop the spread of the virus a top priority during the COVID-19 pandemic. The primary technique for examining SARS-CoV-2 genomes, which provides essential knowledge about the virus, is next-generation sequencing. Databases of biological and host-virus interactions, as well as bioinformatics pipelines, are essential tools for calculating these data and improving understanding of SARS-CoV-2. As a result, several research is being carried out to comprehend the genetic makeup of the virus; bioinformatics is the driving force behind these studies.
Market Growth Factors
Increasing Support from the Public and Private Sectors for Bioinformatics
Globally, a large number of public and commercial entities are making investments in the area of bioinformatics. The quality of these services has increased as a result of these expenditures, which have led to technical breakthroughs in bioinformatics services. For instance, the UK government established a new partnership called COVID-19 Genomics UK Consortium (COG-UK) in March 2020 with an investment of EUR 20 million to sequence the genomes of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that is driving the current COVID-19 pandemic.
Adoption of Genomics in Specialized/Personalized Medicine
Personalized medicine research is becoming more popular among pharmaceutical corporations. Personalized medicine allows doctors to pinpoint a patient's specific needs and then prescribe medications and treatments to meet those needs. This method ensures improved treatment outcomes. In addition, advances in the field of gene therapy are projected to enable doctors to treat a problem by inserting a gene into a patient's cell, potentially replacing existing medications and operations.
