Abstract

Sustainable ecosystem is huge topic for discussion in this era. It's a continuous process that comes from some biotic and abiotic factors such as; pollution of the atmosphere, waste production, toxic substance disposal, damaged aquatic ecosystems, deforestation, etc. To control the loss of biodiversity we must apply some innovative technologies of genome analysis and database management systems. Spiders (order Araneae) are the species which is broadly distributed in our diversity. Latrodectus is a genus of amazing spiders commonly known as a black widow have numerous attractive features and is a huge research topic, Because of its biological product and behavior. The literature review has been carried out by following reasoning methodology and is presented. The results of this study indicate that different researchers have taken different approaches to analysing the genomic data with some broadly use methods like whole genome sequencing, genotyping, and different proteome analysis and management of data Overall, it is evident from the literature offers a meaningful option, especially for managing genomic data and provided new framework towards the sustainable ecosystem.
