——Interview with Douglas Soltis, Professor of the University of Florida
Under the leadership of the big data concept in the Internet age, many traditional industries have been subverted. The 19th International Botanical Congress held in Shenzhen also paid great attention to the possible botany changes brought about by big data. Douglas Solttis, a professor at the University of Florida and the keynote report of the conference, "Research on the Reconstruction of Life Tree and Biodiversity Distribution in the Big Data Era," was interviewed by Guangming Daily reporter on the 25th. He said that relying on computer technology, if the vast amount of data can be effectively integrated in the future, perhaps the path of botany transformation can be found.
There is no doubt that humanity is currently facing enormous ecological challenges. Protecting plants and animals is imminent. Soltis said: "Big data provides a new tool for our research. Through massive data analysis, we can analyze and compare from a plant, predicting it 50 years later through its old form and current form. The shape. "Traditional botany research can record less content, which means that there is less basis for analysis. “In the era of big data, the research results of researchers can be preserved to the maximum extent, which also provides a lot of convenience for future research.â€
China's species are rich and diverse, so China's task of protecting biodiversity is also arduous. Fortunately, big data provides a new opportunity for China's environmental protection. Soltis said that China has made significant progress in the analysis of genetic data collection. Molecular biology has made a leap in botany, while big data allows molecular biology data to be analyzed and utilized. Botanists can now draw conclusions by analyzing millions of data, which was previously unimaginable. “The genes of plants contain a huge amount of data. By comparing the genetic data, we can find the most protected species, the most suitable biological field, and even the most appropriate protection. This is China's progress in this regard.â€
The concept of big data has been heated up in recent years, but most of them refer to data in the field of computers and mobile Internet, while botany data has its own characteristics. Botanical big data is not the same as traditional big data concepts. Traditionally, big data is "big" in the physical sense, and the amount of data is large, occupying a lot of computer space. The big data types of plants are very diverse. For example, the exact location of a plant is geographic information, the data of a plant form is physical information, the content of a plant is biochemical information, and the genomic data of a plant is genetic information. These data are completely different in different fields, so the big data of botany needs to integrate all the data related to all aspects of a plant, and this feature will bring botanical research to a new level.
