	<title><![CDATA[BINC (Bioinformatics National Certification) Examination 2018]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>Bioinformatics National Certification (BINC) was instituted by Department of Biotechnology, Government of India in 2005 at Savitribai Phule Pune University, formerly University of Pune, Pune to certify bioinformatics professionals and recognizing candidate's theoretical and practical ability and fostering interdisciplinary research. Later on, it was transferred to Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi and then to Pondicherry University, Puducherry. Pondicherry University conducted the BINC examination in 2015, 2016 and 2017.</p><div><p>Biotech Consortium India Limited (BCIL), New Delhi is conducting the BINC 2018 examination on behalf Department of Biotechnology, Government of India.</p></div><div><p>BINC is a certification programme for graduate and post-graduate students for recognizing their exceptional bioinformatics knowledge and skills and to improve their employment opportunities. There is a growing need for trained manpower in the area of Bioinformatics. Currently, various universities and institutions, both government and private, impart Bioinformatics education in India. The qualifying candidates will be awarded a lifetime certificate. This certification would facilitate industries and potential employers in recruitment of Bioinformatics professionals having exceptionally good bioinformatics skills.</p></div><div><p>The certification under Bioinformatics National Certification (BINC) scheme is given to the candidates after three tier selection process. The successful candidates are also eligible for availing Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) for pursuing Ph.D. in Bioinformatics at recognized Indian universities/institutes. The research fellowships of all BINC qualified Indian nationals are funded by DBT.

	<description><![CDATA[<p><span>The MetaGraph framework</span><span>&nbsp;is designed to work with a wide range of input data sets, indexing from a few samples up to the contents of entire archives with hundreds of thousands of records. The indexing workflow always follows the same principle, transforming single input samples into error-removed, refined sample graphs, which are then merged into a joint metagraph index. Each input sample is annotated in the joint index as a subgraph. This graph index enriched with metadata can then be used for downstream applications such as&nbsp;</span><a href="https://metagraph.ethz.ch/#query">sequence search</a><span>&nbsp;or&nbsp;</span><a href="https://metagraph.ethz.ch/#assembly">differential assembly</a><span>.</span></p>
