Workshop on Bioinformatics and Its Emerging Industrial Applications
Date : February 28, 2009
Venue : Centre for Energy Studies, IIT Delhi
Scope and Objectives
Recent advances in bioinformatics and the significant increase in the computational powers in the form of super computers have made it possible to utilize the genetic data base (data mining) which has been collected so far. In fact, the success of genome sequencing efforts and bioinformatics resulted in a vast amount of data over the last two decades. The number of genetic sequences in the Gen Bank gene sequence repository of the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) has increased tremendously over the last two decades. Bioinformatics has to use this mountain of data with the help of super computers in the efforts. Gene mining for understanding life and developing absolute cures for life threatening diseases. The task of the bioinformations is to demonstrate how in-silico simulations facilitates experiments.more details.
