CCS HAU Practical training course Recombinant DNA Techniques & Bioinformatics Tools

helpBIOTECH happy to announce:

A Training Course on “Recombinant DNA Techniques & Bioinformatics Tools”

10th November to 30th November, 2010

Department of Animal Biotechnology
College of Veterinary Sciences
CCS HAU, Hisar 125 004, Haryana

                

Recombinant DNA Technology has become one of the most powerful tools of modern day biotechnology which can be applicable for improvement of health and production of animal as well as plant. These techniques allow us to identfy new genes, characterization of breeds, development of new generation vaccines as well as rapid diagnostics for the prevention and treatment of diseases of livestock which are major constraints in enhancing the productivity and economic returns. In the past few years,

                    

Recombinant DNA Techniques have become popular due to their sensitivity and specificity regarding diagnosis of infectious diseases. As far as bioinformatics is concern, it is a fast developing branch of biology and is highly interdisciplinary derives knowledge from computer analysis of biological data. It has many practical applications in different areas of biotechnology and medicine. Therefore, the present practical training course is designed to provide hands on training on Recombinant DNA Techniques & Bioinformatics Tools. The training programme will also include theoretical aspects of molecular biology, biotechnology and bioinformatics for better understanding.
