Establishment of National Agricultural Bioinformatics Grid (NABG) in ICAR

About National Agricultural Bioinformatics Grid (NABG) project Formally launched on 18th Sept., 2010 by Hon’ble Director General (ICAR) and Secretary (DARE) Dr. S. Ayyappan, the Establishment of “National Agricultural Bioinformatics Grid (NABG)” in ICAR is a National project funded by NAIP. The project entails the creation and advancement of databases, algorithms, computational and statistical techniques and theory to solve formal and practical problems arising from the management and analysis of biological data. The field of Bioinformatics focuses on developing and applying computationally intensive techniques (e.g., pattern recognition, data mining, machine learning algorithms, and visualization) which gives the opportunity to quickly and efficiently study heap of genomic information, chemical structure and other biological data. Bioinformatics has already started showing its profound impact on agricultural research and development. NABG will help Indian scientists to solve problems and mysteries in uncovering wealth of hidden biological information in different subject domains.

Objectives of NABG

1. Development of agricultural bioinformatics grid for the country.
2. Creation of local databases and Bioinformatics Data Warehouse (BinDW) for genomic resources across species.
3. Human resource development in agricultural bioinformatics.
4. Create and promote inter-disciplinary research groups with focus on agricultural bioinformatics.

Objectives of the training

 

To provide insights to scientists in analyzing & organizing data related to biological complexity
To provide understanding of bioinformatics tools and software employed for the data analysis
To strengthen strategies for integrating bioinformatics tools for data mining

Themes of the sensitization training

1. Sequence analysis
2. Genome annotation and gene prediction
3. Evolutionary computational biology
4. Analysis of gene/protein expression
5. Comparative genomics
6. Soft-wares and tools in bioinformatics
