Relevance of bioinformatics in biopesticide management: A comparative comprehensive review

Abstract

Bioinformatics is conceptualizing biology in terms of macromolecules (in the sense of physical chemistry) and then applying informatics techniques (derived from disciplines such as applied mathematics, computer science, and statistics) to understand and organize the information associated with these molecules, on a large scale (Luscombe NM, Greenbaum D, Gerstein M, What is bioinformatics? A proposed definition and overview of the field. Methods Inf Med 40:346-358, 2001).
