Bioinformatics and Computational Tools

Proteomics and bioinformatics are now considered as very important tools for the characterization and understanding of any food biomolecules. It has a huge significance in providing nutritional and livelihood security. Genomic research is also equally important. The existing high-throughput next-generation technologies generate oceanic data that require appropriate tools for extensive analysis. Gene-based information and computational technologies are integrated in bioinformatics to produce new data and knowledge for the benefits of food and health. In this chapter, different tools relevant to proteins and genes are discussed in details for the benefits of researchers, students and academicians. These include different bioinformatics tools, data banks and many more. The purpose of the chapter is to familiarize the concept and extend the practical translation to the relevant researchers and industry.
