ABSTRACT
Bioinformatics has been a hot topic in Pakistan to be a separate and vital field of study. There has been a sudden increase in the Bioinformatics courses for both undergraduate and graduate degrees. The courses selected in this study four years bachelor degree and two year master degree of full-time study, each of these courses dissecting into six categories as: Bioinformatics, Biological Science, Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science and Elective subjects, to determine where the differences lie. This study reviews state-of-the-art Bioinformatics education in Pakistan, compares it with global standards and initiatives and proposes a set of recommendations to be integrated in the national educational framework of curriculum and policy making.
