Bioinformatics and HGP

One of the tools that is used to analyze the data collected during the Human Genome Project is known as MAR-Wiz. MAR-Wiz is a bioinformatics tool that analyzes DNA sequences and detects the presence of "MARs" or Matrix Attachment Regions. Bioinformatics is a section of computer science that deals with the advancement of algorithms, computational and statistical techniques, and the theory to solve formal and practical problems arising from the management and analysis of biological data.
