Abstract
This paper explores the transformative role of bioinformatics in realizing the vision of personalized medicine. Traditional medical practices often adopt a "one-size-fits-all" approach, which can lead to suboptimal patient outcomes. The advent of high-throughput genomic sequencing technologies has generated an unprecedented volume of biological data, presenting both a challenge and a significant opportunity for modern healthcare. Bioinformatics serves as the critical bridge, employing computational tools and algorithms to manage, analyze, and interpret this vast dataset.
