Bioinformatica e a utilização da genética na agricutlura

Abstract

Bioinformatics is an area that combines knowledge of computation and biological sciences to analyze sequences of DNA, proteins and RNA. Its main task is to deal with the large volume of data generated by molecular biology and genomics, especially in the digital age, where the sequencing of biomolecules has become faster, more accessible and generates large amounts of data. Bioinformatics uses high-performance computational methods to analyze these data and obtain answers and solutions, such as the development of a molecular marker identification system, with the aim of helping to select plants with certain desirable characteristics, such as greater resistance to drought or disease, higher productivity.
