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
METHODOLOGY
The two-days workshop will include theory lectures and practical demonstrations by experts in the related fields.
REGISTRATION
Course Fee: Rs. Nil
Total No. of Seats: 20 (On first-come-first-serve basis)
Last Date for receipt of Application: February 29, 2012
