Material science is an emerging field of science. It is an interdisciplinary science comprising of
physics, chemistry, biology, earth science, computer science and technology as well as materials
engineering. Due to the advancement of knowledge now-a-days each of these branches of science
has different sub-branches. There are several interrelations among these branches and subbranches.
Bioinformatics is such an emerging interdisciplinary science. In this paper we have
discussed that day by day as the material science is gradually being enriched, bioinformatics has
also an important role in it.
Key words: Biophysics, Biochemistry, Computer science, DNA, Protein.
