Also, meaningful analysis of bio-information brings about a new innovation in the field of bio-market with the advent and growth of bioinformatics. Hence, bioinformatics is the most import aspect for establishing a science-technology-oriented society in the $21^{st}$ century. This article provides trends in current state of bioinformatics. Technological development of bioinformatics for the rapid growth of bio-industry means that using bioinformatics, a biologist can process and store enormous amount of data such as current Human Genome Project and future data in the field of biology. We have manly looked at the tends of bio-information, databases and mining tools that are generally used, and strategies and directions for the future.
