Abstract
Bioinformatics plays a pivotal role in advancing environmental and ecological research by providing powerful tools to analyze complex biological data. Recent technological advancements, such as high-throughput sequencing, have allowed for the generation of large-scale genomic, metagenomic, and transcriptomic data from environmental samples. These data offer insights into ecosystem dynamics, biodiversity, species interactions, and environmental stressors. This article discusses the role of bioinformatics in environmental and ecological research, with a focus on data analysis techniques, tools for metagenomic and ecological studies, and applications in biodiversity conservation, climate change, and ecosystem management.
