This group is dedicated to Comparative genomics ... Dramatic results have emerged from the rapidly developing field of comparative genomics. Comparison of the fruit fly genome with the human genome reveals that about sixty percent of genes are conserved (Adams et al. 2000). That is, the two organisms appear to share a core set of genes. Researchers have also found that two-thirds of human genes known to be involved in cancer have counterparts in the fruit fly.
The major research interests are in exploring the role of extracellular matrix components (soluble secreted proteins and membrane vesicles) in cancer and intercellular communication. The lab integrates proteomic, genomic and bioinformatics...
The mission of our group is to discover genomic determinants of phenotypic differences between species, which is important to understand how nature's fascinating phenotypic diversity evolved and how it is encoded in the genome. Work in the lab...
Applications are invited from the citizens of India for filling up the following temporary position for the sponsored project undertaken in the Department of Biosciences and Bioengineering of this Institute. The position is temporary initially for a...
Interested in various topics at the intersection of ecology and evolution. In my research I use rotifers as model organisms for experimental studies at the individual and population level. Rotifers are ideally suited for this, because populations of...
Benefits for the participants
- Plan more efficient experiments
- Correctly interpret results
- Communicate results in publications more effectively
The course focus is on methodologies, not on particular software tools. After the course...
Evolutionary genomics of social insects. Extensive theoretical work has explained how and why complex societies evolve. However, only little is known about the genes and molecular mechanisms responsible for social phenotypes. We have been...
In a lot of my work in bioinformatics, I have been using hidden Markov models (HMMs). As a postdoc with David Haussler at UCSC we developed the so-called profile HMMs (refs). Since then I have applied HMMs to membrane proteins (refs) and gene...
They are using the latest DNA sequencing technology to read the genetic makeup of cancer cells within tumours in ever greater detail, teasing out patterns of evolution (evolutionary rule books), cancer heterogeneity and working out what changes have...
Walk-in-Interview for recruitment of one Project Fellow for a period of 10 months purely on temporary basis is proposed to be held at Central Tuber Crops Research Institute, Sreekariyam, Thiruvananthapuram for a KSCSTE funded project entitled...
The course Bioinformatics Algorithms (Part 1) by Pavel Pevzner, Phillip E. C. Compeau, and Nikolay Vyahhi from University of California, San Diego will be offered free of charge to everyone on the Coursera platform. Sign up at...
