THEME
Genomes
of several plants and organisms have been sequenced, thereby resulting
in the accumulation of large amount of sequence data in databases. The
‘omics’ technologies such as genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics,
metabolomics and phenomics, etc., are all resulting in the generation
of large data sets. The outcome from all these technologies is central
to the improvement of genomes of economically important crops, microbes
and animals. The processing of enormous biological information
generated by these novel technologies requires fast and high capacity
computational and storage media. Retrieval of sequence information and
analysis need sophisticated programmes which can be distributed using
computer networks and world wide web. The two-days training course has
been designed to provide hands-on-training on computational biology,
biological databases and their role in genome annotation, in silico
gene mining, gene prediction and proteomics etc.
WHO CAN ATTEND
The
course will be useful to research scholars, students, and persons in
their early careers in academic/research institutions and also for
people engaged in the area of bioinformatics.
OBJECTIVES
1. Role of bioinformatics in genomics and proteomics
2. Introduction to biological databases, sequence retrieval and analysis
3. Concept and application of machine learning techniques in bioinformatics
4. Tools and techniques for bio-molecule prediction
