SHORT TERM TRAINING COURSE on COMPUTER APPLICATIONS IN GENOMICS & PROTEOMICS 02-03 March, 2012 At Bioinformatics Centre Department of Agricultural Biotechnology CSK HP Agricultural University Palampur- 176 062 (HP) SPONSORED BY Department of Biotechnology(DBT) Government of India, New Delhi THEME Genomes of several plants and organisms have been sequenced, thereby resulting in the accumulation of large amount of sequence data in databases. The ‘omics’ technologies such as genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics and phenomics, etc., are all resulting in the generation of large data sets. The outcome from all these technologies is central to the improvement of genomes of economically important crops, microbes and animals. The processing of enormous biological information generated by these novel technologies requires fast and high capacity computational and storage media. Retrieval of sequence information and analysis need sophisticated programmes which can be distribu...
