Autophagy is a highly evolutionarily conserved cellular catabolic process responsible for degradation of damaged organelles and long-lived proteins. It is not surprising that scientific interest in the connection of autophagy and diseases has been growing. Over the past 2 decades, many new experimental approaches have been emerging in the field of targeting autophagy for medicinal research. Interestingly, in addition to experimental methods, a number of databases, Web servers, mathematics models, omics approaches, and systems biology network approaches related to autophagy have become available online, which may be collectively considered to be "in silico autophagy methods" for expediting current medicinal research. Thus, we have summarized a series of relevant in silico autophagy approaches for promoting the most appropriate usage of these resources for potential therapeutic purposes.
