Abstract

The aim of this study is to take a brief review on Islamic perspective and role of bioinformatics in fighting against deadly microbe that is corona virus cause of COVID-19 disease. Coronaviruses are a group of non-segmented, single-stranded, positive-sense RNA viruses. Extreme acute coronavirus syndrome (SARS-CoV) and Middle East (MERS-CoV) are zoonotic and very pathogenic coronaviruses that contribute to global and regional epidemics. Islam, in particular, presents a perspective that largely emphasizes compassion, solidarity, and responsibility to fellow human beings during pandemic. Bioinformatics, an interdisciplinary emerging science and possess great influential impact in findings from genome sequencing, drug development trials, tackle contagious corona virus and developing preventive measures. This review provides information about introduction, Islamic perspective towards pandemic, role, applications of bioinformatics, work, phylogenetic relationships of corona virus, researchers’ struggles have performed in the field of bioinformatics in order to overcome COVID-19 pandemic.
