Bio-Informatics

About the group: The advent of numerous genome-sequencing projects like the Human Genome Project have led to millions of sequence residues flooding into the genome sequence databases like GenBank and EMBL. This biological data is being analyzed to provide structural and functional information on unknown genes or proteins, reconstructing metabolic pathways for detecting drug targets and so on using various computational tools, comparative genomics methods and microarray data analysis. The Bioinformatics Team at C-DAC deals with the development, porting and optimization of codes on PARAM in the above areas and for mining large genomic databases, large molecular dynamics simulations, comparative genomic studies and gene expression data analysis.
