G16B

BIOINFORMATICS, i.e. INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY [ICT] SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR GENETIC OR PROTEIN-RELATED DATA PROCESSING IN COMPUTATIONAL MOLECULAR BIOLOGY

Introduced: January 2019

Description

G16B covers information and communication technology systems and software specifically designed for processing, analyzing, and managing genetic, genomic, and protein-related data in computational molecular biology. This includes DNA/RNA sequencing data analysis, sequence alignment algorithms, protein structure prediction, gene expression analysis, and bioinformatics databases. The classification encompasses tools for comparative genomics, phylogenetic analysis, mutation identification, and integration of multi-omics datasets. G16B excludes general-purpose computing or data processing (G16F) and focuses exclusively on applications tailored to biological sequence and structural information analysis.

IPC and CPC are identically structured here. All 11 subcodes exist in both systems.

1 shared codes have differing titles between IPC and CPC.

IPC defines codes here since 2019.
