Abstract

Bioinformatics plays a significant role in the development of many fields of biological science and plant genetic resources (PGR) is one of them. With the advent of high throughput sequencing technology, bioinformatics continues to make considerable progress in biology by providing scientists with access to the genomic information. There are many areas of plant genetic resources such as development of core set, trait associated gene discovery, genetic diversity analysis, Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS), phylogenetic and evolutionary analysis, database development and its management etc. where bioinformatics plays important roles. Main role of bioinformatics is to provide computational algorithm and software tools to accelerate the research of PGR. Bioinformatics is a new paradigm in the genomic research, which provides PGR research a great thrust. However, there are many areas such as pan genomics, multi locus GWAS, Genomic Selection with epistasis effects where bioinformatics can play better role.
