Plant-based bioactive components have been the precursors for contemporary research on natural products research and are the main source for unraveling the lead molecules. Synergistic approaches of bioinformatics, system biology, and omics data (transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and physiognomics) can be utilized to discover and probe the mode of action of natural products. Omics technologies permit transcriptional profiling and generation of proteomics and metabolomics data. Integration of novel systems biology tools and approaches with traditional medicine philosophies can transform new drug development strategies to the biology-driven drug discovery leading to precise and personal medication. Bioinformatics provides data related to diseases, toxicity-related issues, therapeutic aspects, etc. This book chapter reviews the various approaches for augmentation of 'omics' data and its role in research on natural products.

Bioactive peptides (BPs) are peptides with hormonal or pharmacological properties. They play a key role in growth, metabolism, disease, aging and death by affecting digestion, endocrine, cardiovascular, immune and nervous systems. They show the potential therapeutic effects on blood pressure-lowering (ACE inhibitory), anticancer, antithrombotic, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiobesity, anti-genotoxic and immunomodulatory. Companied by the fast development and wide applications of DNA sequencing method, a wealth of bioactive peptide sequences accumulated through empirical and bioinformatics approaches or an integrated approach. To store and facilitate the usage of bioactive peptide data, a series of databases have been established that concerned about different aspects of BPs. A variety of information including sequence, source, biological activity, toxicity, physical-chemical property, and structure is stored in these databases. This review summarizes the latest development of BPs databases and briefly introduces the characteristics of different databases, to help readers to retrieve the required information more easily. In addition, it also includes sequence analysis, structural simulation and activity prediction tools, which may be helpful for the design and discovery of new bioactive peptides.
