This bioinformatics cell contains computing resources for genome sequencing, assembly, annotation and analysis. It includes a high powered workstation and two servers for processing sequencing data from plant, fungal and bacterial genomes, as well as transcriptomes of various crops. The cell has submitted several plant and fungal genomes and bacterial sequencing data to NCBI. It has also generated barcode sequences from fish and submitted 16S and 18S rRNA sequences from bacteria and fungi respectively. The cell conducts transcriptome annotation and mapping studies on various crops to understand biological processes and molecular functions.
