Abstract
Unprecedented success and availability of enormous next-generation sequencing data of host-pathogen in the public domain give us opportunities to understand the disease system biologically. The availability of genome data of host-pathogen in popular depository systems provides strong and proper help to retrieve, annotate, analyze and identify the functional elements for characterization at gene and genome levels for application development. The primary goal of bioinformatics is to enhance the understanding of biological processes using sequence pattern recognition, biological data mining, machine learning algorithms for biological datasets and visualization of biological data and molecules. Significant research efforts in the field include databases, software and tools development, genome analysis, anthropology, forensic genetics, sequence alignment, gene finding, genome assembly, drug design, drug discovery, protein structure alignment, protein structure prediction, gene expression analysis, microarray data analysis, protein–protein interactions and genome-wide association studies. Scientists, Paulien Hogeweg and Ben Hesper coined the term in 1970 to refer to the study of biological information processes in biotic systems. Margaret Oakley Dayhoff, the mother and father of bioinformatics compiled one of the first protein sequence databases. Elvin A. Kabat, the scientist who pioneered biological sequence analysis, developed the approach in 1970. Bioinformatics tools, techniques and databases can be used to identify potential genes, and target protein for host–pathogen interaction, drug designing and discovery and harvesting biological information from the plant genomes and their genes. Bioinformatics applications can be very beneficial in the improvement of crops and helpful for the development of designer crops.
