Abstract Computational methods have significantly transformed biomedical research, offering a comprehensive exploration of disease mechanisms and molecular protein functions. This article reviews a spectrum of computational tools and network analysis databases that play a crucial role in identifying potential interactions and signaling networks contributing to the onset of disease states. The utilization of protein/gene interaction and genetic variation databases, coupled with pathway analysis can facilitate the identification of potential drug targets. By bridging the gap between molecular-level information and disease understanding, this review contributes insights into the impactful utilization of computational methods, paving the way for More >

Abstract Biotechnological techniques provide a viable alternative to help improve and increase the production of plant species of agricultural and economic importance, which have been affected over the years by climate change, increasing their susceptibility to pests and/or diseases, generating losses in production as well as a decrease in their regenerative and genetic diversity. The application of biotechnological techniques such as in vitro mutagenesis offers a viable option for the generation of crops that are resistant to the different factors caused by abiotic and biotic stress. In vitro mutagenesis has been used in an efficient way to generate… More >
