ABOUT THE CENTRE
The centre was launched by DBT, Govt. of India in April 2001 as a special purpose centre meant for cyanobacteriology.
Center conducts training workshops on the basics of bioinformatics every year. The centre assists the National Facility
for Marine Cyanobacteria (DBT, Sponsored Facility) and the Department of Marine Biotechnoloby faculty scholars and students
by providing infrastructural facilities like internet, email, printing and also conducts bioinformatics theory and laboratory
courses for M.Sc and M.Phil programmes and project students. The Bioinformatics Centre at this institute, supported by DBT,
has created awareness in cyanobacteria, the primordial organism. The Centre focuses on database generation, data mining and its application in wet lab research.
* molecular phylogeny of cyanobacteria, * plasmid sequencing, * cyanobacterial super oxide dismutases, * bioremediating enzymes, * stress associated enzymes and pathways, * methane monooxygenasses, * c3 and c4 pathways.
