INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTER BY HASNAT TARIQ
What is a computer?
What is a computer? A computer is an electronic device that manipulates information, or data. It has the ability to store, retrieve, and process data.
Parts of Computer
Parts of Computer Computer has two main elements:
Hardware is any part of your computer that has a physical structure, such as Circuits, computer chips, gr
Hardware is any part of your computer that has a physical structure, such as Circuits, computer chips, graphic cards, sound cards, memory (RAM), motherboard, displays, power supplies, cables, keyboards, printers and "mice" input devices are all hardware.

Software is any set of instructions that tells the hardware what to do and how to do it.
Software is any set of instructions that tells the hardware what to do and how to do it. Examples of software include web browsers, games, and word processors.
Role of Computer in Biotechnology
Role of Computer in Biotechnology 1. For comparison of a specific sequence with those of other sequences of the data base (already existing). 2. Computers are known for their enormous problem solving power. A new DNA sequence is compared with any such similar or nearly similar sequence of the data base.
3. The data stored in a data base can be shared by many scientists working in different parts of the world through a computer network.
