This review article focuses on the study of macroalgae, and their use in agriculture and food from a bioinformatics point of view. The article begins with macroalgae, which are photosynthetic organisms that thrive in aquatic environments, and how they are used as a source of nutrients. Here, their different applications in agriculture, animal, and human nutrition are highlighted, emphasizing their capacity to be a source of vegetable and sustainable proteins. Macroalgae (brown algae, red algae, and green algae) were described and catalogued according to color, nutritional composition, and bioactive compounds. Some examples of algae species of each type were named, such as green algae (Ulva, Codium, and Chaetomorpha) and brown algae (Fucus, Laminaria, Sargassum). The life cycle and reproduction of macroalgae and some bioinformatics techniques used to analyze these algae are also mentioned. Forty articles were reviewed from Elseiver, Springer, PubMed, and Google Scholar. Forty articles from the Elseiver, Springer, PubMed, and Google Scholar databases were reviewed with a search cutoff from 2006 to May 2024.
