Bioinformatics Centre at Birla Institute of Scientific Research,
Jaipur is organizing a three-day Bioinformatics workshop on
“Computational Genomics” from 20 - 22 January 2009. BISR is known
for providing a high quality training in advance area of Biotechnology
and Bioinformatics. This workshop will enable participants to learn
about the current trends in genome technologies and Bioinformatics
approaches that are being used to decipher and analyze genome of an
organism. The workshop will feature morning lectures, demonstrations
from the experts with evening hands-on session in Bioinformatics lab.

The topics to be addressed during the workshop include: Overview of
Computational Genomics, Bioinformatics resources and information
retrieval, Genome Sequencing Technologies, Sequence Alignments:
Pairwise, BLAST and FASTA tools, Genome Assembly and Annotation,
Comparative Genomics, Genomics in Drug Discovery / Personal Genomics,
Genome Analysis using Online tools, GCG and Exome Sequence Analysis
Package, Microbial Genomics, Multiple Sequence Alignment and
Phylogenetics Tree Reconstruction.

The no. of participants is limited to 40 only .The participants of the
course may be the UG/PG students, research scholars, faculty member
and industry personnel with background in Biological Sciences and/or
Information Technology. The workshop is self-contained and does not
