Hello Aspirant!

BIOINFORMATICS is a branch of Computer Science where we employ information technology to approach queries related to biology and provide an infrastructure to store the paramount biological data collected through research works done worldwide using computer software. It covers areas like systems biology, structural biology, genomics, proteomics, cell, animal and disease biology etc.

In general, it provides us solutions to convert gene sequences into proteins; to store protein/DNA sequences of different species; to compare the genetic code of a newly discovered organism with the existing ones; to predict, analyze and  interpret clinical findings.

On the other hand, BIOENGINEERING is a technical branch dealing with the application of engineering  principles to the fields of biology and healthcare. Bioengineers work with researchers, doctors and therapists to develop systems, equipment and devices in order to solve clinical problems and facilitate surgical, diagnostic and scanning medical procedures along with production of materials that can replace defective body parts.

Don't hesitate to ask your doubts in the comment section.

Hope this answer will help you.
