India 2012 - National Workshop on Computational Biology - ICIBS, Maharashtra

Biological Sciences is growing leaps and bounds today. To keep pace with the extensive data generated, it is imperative to design intelligent systems which would aid in deriving inferential knowledge. Bioinformatics plays a key role in helping researchers to analyze and simulate this enormous amount of information, in-silico. One of the pioneers in the field of Bioinformatics, Dr. Margaret Oakley Dayhoff, played a pivotal role in areas of creating Computerized Protein and DNA Sequence Databases. As a mark of respect to her contributions in the field of Bioinformatics, JauGanak – Bioinformatics Community, Department of Biotechnology and Bionformatics, Padmashreee Dr. D.Y. Patil University is celebrating “Bioinformatics Week” from 19-25 March, 2012 comprising of A Two Day National Seminar on “Intelligent Computing in Biological Sciences (ICIBS ‘12)” and A Five Day National Workshop on “Computational Biology”.

ELIGIBILITY : Applications are invited from research scholars doing Ph. D, young faculty members and scientists working in research Departments of Colleges or Universities/Research Institutes in Kadapa. Preference will be given to the candidates working or intended to work in the area of Genomics and related areas
APPLICATION & SELECTION PROCEDURE : The application form can be downloaded from www.nrcbsmku.org or www.yogivemanauniversity.ac.in. Candidates should submit the filled in application form to Dr. A. Chandra Sekhar,  Local Organizer, On-Site UGC-NRCBS workshop on “Advances in Computational Genomics”, Department of Biotechnology, Yogi Vemana University, Kadapa - 516 003 on or before 8 February, 2012. Applications should be forwarded by their research supervisors/Head  of the Department or Head of the Institution. The candidates will be selected based on their qualification and research interests.
REMUNERATION  AND TRAVEL : UGC-NRCBS, MKU will provide course material, lab manual and working lunch to the participants as per Madurai Kamaraj University regulations. The participants has to take care of their travel and stay. The training  period  shall  be  considered as 'On Duty' by the participant's parent institution
ABOUT SCHOOL OF BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES : Madurai Kamaraj University, established in 1966, has 18 Schools comprising 74 Departments, 66 affiliated Colleges and 15 Institutions. UGC has recognized MKU as a “University  with Potential for Excellence”.  School  of Biological  Sciences (SBS) founded by late Prof. S. Krishnaswamy, stands as an internationally reputed Centre of Excellence in research in modern biology. The SBS had pioneered in teaching Integrated Biology and Genomic Sciences. The focus of research shifted in consonance with the contemporary developments and the UGC elevated the SBS as the “Centre for Advanced Studies in Functional Genomics”. The UGC has also supported SBS to establish the “Centre for Excellence in Genomic Sciences”. Recently, UGC has recognized SBS as a “Networking Resource Centre in Biological Sciences”.
ABOUT THE ON-SITE WORKSHOP : Technological advances over the past two decades have led to the accumulation of whole genome sequence data. As the number of sequenced  genomes  rapidly  increases, searching  and  comparing sequence features within and between species has become a part of most biological inquires.  Comparative genomics helps identifying potential new drug targets, such as putative essential genes and/or those affecting the cell viability that are conserved in pathogenic organisms.  Complete genome sequences will be retrieved, analyzed through genome browsers to get the required functional information.  Available  genomic  data  can  be  utilized  to  design molecular biological experiments, using in silico simulations. PCR primer designing and in silico simulations can be efficiently used to check the specificity of the designed experiments. Awareness on the available  genomic  data is limited. Submission  of the indigenous sequences  derived from the  experiments  using Sakura and other tools is limited and the participants will be given training on the above  aspects.  The main objective of this “On Site” workshop program is to introduce the resources available in public domain with their applications in the advance functional genomic studies.

National Seminar on Transcriptomics: A Recent Era (NST-2011)


National Seminar on Transcriptomics: A Recent Era (NST-2011)
October 16, 2011
Transcriptomics is one of the most widely explored areas in the science arena and hence system biology and functional genomics are facing the challenge to integrate the wide variety of information from the “Transcriptomics”. So, it will be a great opportunity to share the ongoing researches in this area.
The human genome contains the complete set of genes required to build a functional human being. However, the genome is only a source of information. In order to function, it must be expressed. The transcription of genes to produce RNA is the first stage of gene expression . The transcriptome is the complete set of RNA transcripts produced by the genome at any one time.
