"Bioinformatics: Sequence Analysis"
21 - 23 September 2012

ABOUT ACCOMMODATION

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Bioinformatics has initiated a new revolution in life science research by providing computational solutions to biological problems. Availability of huge amount of biological data has tremendously enhanced the speed of biological research and dramatically reduced the cost of research. The Inherent traits of an organism are hidden and assembled in the form of a genome. Analyzing this hidden information is a challenge in front of researcher. Bioinformatics provides the platform to study various aspects of biological sequences using information technology. This workshop focuses on the tools and techniques that are being used to decipher and analyze biological sequences. The workshop will feature morning lectures, demonstrations with evening hands-on session in Bioinformatics lab.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

The participants of the course may be students, research scholars, faculty and industry personnel with background in Life Sciences and/or Information Technology. The workshop is selfcontained and does not assume any special knowledge of the subject.
