Abstract
‘Biological informatics’ abbreviated to Bioinformatics, uses a massive number of computational approaches for the analysis, management and storage of vast range of biological data. The number of in-silico approaches is helping in generating and analysing the tuber crop data for the crop production enhancement and disease management by sequence alignment and analysis, drug discovery, gene-pathogen interaction and dynamic simulation. Here, in this article we have given a short glance at the role of bioinformatics in tuber crop improvement as well as given some databases containing specific tuber crops related genomic level information.
