Human Genome Meeting 2014, Geneva, Switzerland

Fri, 20 Sep 2013 12:36:44 -0500

The spectacular advances of the last few years resulted in the rapid analysis of the genome sequence of each individual. The biomedical world is now faced with the enormous challenges of assigning pathogenicity to each genomic variant, the functional analysis of the genome of each individual, and the accurate and detailed phenotypic characterization. Advances in these challenges are likely to fundamentally change the medical practice in a global scale.

This 2014 HUGO Meeting in Geneva will be a Forum for discussions on innovative approaches, and proposals to tackle the anticipated challenges.

Time : 27 April 2014 - 30 April 2014

National Training on Bioinformatics Computational Tools for Microbial Research Nov 19 to 30, 2013

Fri, 27 Sep 2013 10:49:34 -0500

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.
