生物信息学在数字农业中的应用研究进展

Progress on the Application of Bioinformatics in Digital Agriculture

生物信息学是近年来逐步发展起来的一门新兴交叉学科,它在利用计算机进行资源处理和分析海量数据方面具有诸多优势。首先对数字农业的起源及其在国内外的发展现状进行了描述,然后具体阐述了生物信息学这门新兴学科在数字农业方面的具体应用和贡献,包括数据库的构建、数据挖掘、比较基因组学、电子克隆和计算机辅助药物设计5个方面。最后,对生物信息学学科的重要性和今后促进其发展的主要途径进行了讨论,并对生物信息学在数字农业发展过程中所起的作用进行了展望。

Bioinformatics was an interdiscipline, which is developing recently and has many advantages in handling huge biological data. We first described the history of digital agriculture and its current research progress at home and abroad. Then we further discussed the practical application and contribution of bioinformatics to digital agriculture, regarding database construction, data mining, comparative genomics, in silico cloning, and computer-aided drug design. Finally, we emphasized the importance and the approaches of developing bioinformatics, and discussed its role in digital agriculture.
