Why are genetic databases so important to the study of modern genetics?
What will be an ideal response?
The available information about the genetics of a large number of organisms has increased dramatically in the past few years. As a result, it has become impossible to study, learn, and remember all of it. All this information needs to be stored in such a way that it may be accessed and searched easily. This is done in computer databases that have assumed enormous importance in the study of genetics.
