Forensics has become an essential part of the disclosure of criminal evidence. A bioinformatics approach in the form of DNA forensics and digital forensics can be a good combination in disclosing digital-based criminal evidence. This study explains how the role of bioinformatics through the digital approach can be a means of forming new approaches in integration with digital forensics, called cyber-bioinformatics. Despite many hopes and challenges ahead, it does not rule out the possibility of criminal cases related to the privacy of human genomic data, so it proposes a new hypothesis, “cyber-bioinformatics.” The role of cyber-bioinformatics is very central in this regard.
The problem is that bioinformatics, as a part of health informatics, plays a role in studying molecular things and genetic studies. Primatologists who studied primates, as well as non-human primates (NHPs), found a dilemma relating to biomedical studies and conservation. Which one to achieve, the goal of being a model animal or their conservation efforts, of course, has very few boundaries. The solution in this study tries to review how to seek to reduce the quantity of NHPs model animals but not reduce their quality, on the other hand, considerations of conservation efforts. The research contribution in this paper proposed authors' perspectives according to the context of the NHPs model as well as conservation efforts, which are considered for dry or wet materials, which means that the genetic resources come. This study would give the 3Rs principle idea, reducing, which contributes to its conservation efforts. This review method used literature surf, scientific selection, and report writing. The result proposed the discussion about related scientific sources as well as the authors' perspective to solve the problem of animal model uses in NHPs. The conclusion is that NHPs are fortunate to receive special attention outside their studies as animal models, even though they are still used in research to benefit humans. Of course, the benefits and drawbacks of using genetic samples—whether wet or dry—are only relevant when used as research materials for medical and bioinformatics investigations. So that there are no more instances of increasing conservation status brought on by the volume of research on the use of model animals, efforts to conserve NHPs as a component of wildlife in nature must be considered.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
