About this Research Topic
With every gene discovery, the next discovery becomes more difficult because the remaining genes are more likely to be rare and missed by previously used techniques. To overcome these obstacles, collaboration between geneticists, bioinformaticians, and biologists is an effective strategy. In this selection of articles, we are aiming to present bioinformatics algorithms and workflows in medicine and agriculture that are either inherently applicable to front-line practitioners, or have extensions or ancillary programs that make them usable. We believe that the realms of agriculture and medicine have much to learn from each other in this sense, and therefore have included them in a single Research Topic. Thus, we aim to improve bioinformatics applications to have a seamless interface with frontline practitioners such as clinicians, translational researchers, and plant scientists.
Themes of interest include, but are not limited to:
· New developments in genome bioinformatics and computational biology
· Computational algorithms, software, and statistical models.
· Recent progress in computational software and computing tools for modern day bioinformatics.
· Application of NGS for modern day genomics including agriculture and medicine.
