Before editing genes, extensive computational analysis is required to identify target sequences, predict off-target effects, and design guide RNAs. Bioinformatics tools are essential for analyzing genomic data, predicting outcomes, and optimizing gene editing strategies. This field exemplifies the intersection between computational biology and practical biotechnology, where data analysis directly informs experimental techniques. ## Summary -While the fields of **Biomedical Engineering** and **Biotechnology** share some computational tools and biological concepts with **Bioinformatics** and **Computational Biology**, their core focuses are different.
