Bioinformatic Application in COVID-19

COVID-19 pandemic has seen massive application of in silico approaches to decipher the virus infectivity in humans as well as for the purpose of drug discovery. Data sharing has been a key to worldwide scientific collaboration and thus accelerating measures to counter the pandemic. Our chapter describes the main in silico approaches, their progression especially database generation and molecular modelling during the first year of the pandemic and emphasizes how these applications will contribute to pandemic-associated scientific discoveries, giving bioinformatics an important role for future tragedies.
