National Training on Bioinformatics
Computational Tools for Microbial Research
Nov 19 to 30, 2013
Organized by
National Bureau of Agriculturally Important Microorganisms

About the training Agricultural research in modern scientific arena is being represented by proper integration among various research fields of biological, chemical and physical sciences, because this field encompasses many more complexities of biology in nature. In the era of fast accumulating biological data coming out from the research on many crop plants, live stocks and microbes and the impact of changing climate, habitat and other interrelations on these biological entities, bioinformatics has come forward across the globe to solve the problems of analysis, prediction, storage, management, pattern recognition, submission, retrieval and storage of the data to find out a fruitful outcome. This area is becoming increasingly important in the context of systems biology approach where a holistic approach is required to understand the biology and chemistry of the biological entities and their behavior during environmental interactions to resolve the harmful impact of biotic or abiotic causes on crop plants, animals, fishes, livestock sector, beneficial insects as well as microbes. The National Training program on ‘Computational Tools for Microbial Research” is an initiative for the capacity building of NARS scientists/researchers in this most emerging area and fast developing area of i.e. agricultural bioinformatics.
Objectives
To strengthen skills of NARS researchers in analyzing and interpreting biological data coming from genome and proteome projects
To generate a better understanding of bioinformatics resources for microbial data analysis
To support strategic research planning for integrating bioinformatics tools and databases
Themes
Analysis of microbial gene sequences for functional readouts
Microbial Genome annotation
Tools for comparative genomics
Tools and techniques for proteomic data analysis
Genomic, proteomic and metabolomics databases
Who can attend?
Researchers/Research scientists/faculty members from NARS system and departments working with biological sciences from various Universities
How to apply? Scientists/researchers working in the area of microbiological research with NARS system/ Universities/SAUs may send their applications/nominations through proper channel to the Director, NBAIM along with their RESUME on or before Oct., 15, 2013.
Selected candidates will be informed regarding their participation. Total number of participants A maximum of 25 candidates will be considered for this training. Preference will be given to those candidates who have prior knowledge of the subject in the theme areas of this training. Fee There is no fee for the candidates for the training program. Boarding and lodging will also be provided by the organizer. Only limited second-class AC fare (both side) will be available for the faculty members of ICAR institutions/SAUs and other NARS system researchers.
