Abstract: Bioinformatics is an interdiscipline, which is developing recently and has many advantages in handling huge biological data. We first described the history of digital agriculture and its current research progress at home and abroad. Then we further discussed the practical application and contribution of bioinformatics to digital agriculture, regarding database construction, data mining, comparative genomics, in silico cloning, and computer-aided drug design. Finally, we emphasized the importance and the approaches of developing bioinformatics, and discussed its role in digital agriculture.
