Bioinformatics is a critical tool in designing the molecular biology experiments. Our bioinformatics work/research can be classified under these major approaches: (i) genomics - sequencing and comparative study of genomes to identify gene and genome functionality, (ii) proteomics - identification and characterization of protein related properties and reconstruction of metabolic and regulatory pathways, (iii) application to the development of drugs and anti-microbial agents; (iv) analysis based upon the available experimental wet-lab data, (v) the use of mathematical modeling/data analysis to get new information, and (vi) an integrated approach that integrates search techniques with mathematical modeling. The major impact of bioinformatics research will be to automate the genome sequencing, development of databases for microorganisms, antomated genome comparisons to identify the genome function, the development of statistical techniques, clustering techniques and data mining techniques to derive protein­ protein and protein-DNA interactions, and the sequence comparison to understand the microbial evolution. The development of bioinformatics techniques will enhance the speed of biological discovery by automated analysis of large number of microbial genomes. The development of bioinformatics techniques have potential to facilitate (i) the discovery of causes of crops' disease, and (ii) improved cost effective agents for bioremediation; (iii) database development for microbes; (iv) easy database management for researcher in proteomics/genomics data search and analysis and reference database search; (v) partial sequence of DNA and sequence data analysis for finding the closest homo logs for the microbe in NCBI data bank etc.
