What is Bioinformatics
  • Bioinformatics is a scientific discipline
    that compasses all aspects of biological
    information acquisition, processing, storage,
    distribution, analysis and interpretation.
  • It is a multi disciplinary subject which
    combines the tools of Biology, Chemistry,
    Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science to
    understand Life its processes.

3
Bioinformatics in India
  • 1983
  • Formation of Task Group on Bioinformatics by Dr.
    S. Ramachandran
  • 1986Department of Biotechnology established
  • 1987
  • Biotechnology Information System Network
    (BTISnet)
  • 1st grant of Rs.13.38 crores by DBT towards
    setting up of National Infrastructural Facility
    on Bioinformatics

4
  • 1988
  • Establishment of the first 9 DICs in India
  • 1989 onwards.
  • Establishment of DIC sub-centers

5
Current Status
  • DICs 10
  • Sub-DICs 48
  • Center of Excellence 6

6
WHY BTISNET?
  • Enormous growth of Biological data size
    information
  • Recognized the importance of IT for advanced
    research
  • Transfer and exchange of information, scientific
    knowledge, technology packages

7
OBJECTIVES
  • To provide a national bioinformatics network
    designed to bridge the inter disciplinary gaps on
    biotechnology information and establish link
    among scientists in organizations involved in RD
    and manufacturing activities in the country.
  • To build up information resources, prepare
    databases on biotechnology and to develop
    relevant information handling tools and
    techniques.
  • To continuously assess information requirements,
    organize creation of necessary infrastructure and
    to provide information and computer support
    services to the national community of users
    working in biotechnology and allied areas.  
  •  

8
OBJECTIVES
  • To coordinate efforts to access Biotechnology
    information world wide including establishing
    linkages with some of the international resources
    of Biotechnology information (e.g. Databanks on
    genetic materials, published literature, patents,
    and other information of scientific and
    commercial value.
  • Perform research into advanced methods of
    computer based information processing for
    analyzing the structure and function of
    biologically important molecules.  

9
  • To evolve and implement programmes on education
    of users and training of information scientists
    responsible for handling of biotechnology
    information and its applications to biotechnology
    research and development.
  • To promote international collaboration towards
    exchange of scientific information in
    biotechnology through the development of
    appropriate network arrangements.
