Abstract

Recently, the rising of the Big Data paradigm has had a great impact in several fields. Bioformatics is one such field. In fact, Bioinfomatics had to evolve in order to adapt to this phenomenon. The exponential increase of the biological information available, forced the researchers to find new solutions to handle these new challenges.

In this paper we present our point of view on the problems intrinsic to Big Data (volume, velocity, variety and veracity), how they affect the Bioinformatics field, and some solutions that can help Bioinformatics practitioners to deal with the difficulties presented by Big Data.
