Abstract:

With the advent of the post-genomic era, a golden age of bioinformatics research is coming. The establishment and improvement of the bioinformatics education system is pivotal to the vitality of bioinformatics. The undergraduate specialty construction of bioinformatics at home and abroad was analyzed, and results showed that the undergraduate education of bioinformatics around the world is in the initial stage. The development obstacles of bioinformatics in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region were analyzed, and the advantages and necessity of establishing an undergraduate major of bioinformatics in the Inner Mongolia University of Science and Technology were discussed. In the future, with the development of sequencing technology and computer technology, bioinformatics will continue to flourish and the demand for bioinformatics talents will continue to expand. To meet the needs of the talent market, more and more colleges and universities are expected to join the undergraduate education in bioinformatics in China.
