Title

In silico techniques used in marine biology research: An overview

Abstract

The gene relationship and interactions are as important as individual gene effects and it has become easier than ever before to characterize the chromosomal organization of multiple families due to the presence of informatics. These efforts are expected to reap huge dividends to the marine biology sector, agro‐based industries, marine biology by‐products utilization, marine improvement, and better management of the environment. A biological database is a large, organized body of persistent data, usually associated with computerized software designed to update, query, and retrieve components of the data stored within the system. A common goal of current marine genomics research is to establish an expandable platform for global classification and analysis of marine gene family space. A wide range of biological data analysis tools are: similarity searching tools, protein function analysis, and structural analysis. This chapter provides some useful bioinformatics databases, tools, in silico approaches, and resources that can be applied in marine studies.
