Distributed Information Sub-Centre
(DISC) at Department of Agricultural Biotechnology, CSK
HPKV, Palampur (HP) came into existence in October, 2002.
The Bioinformatics Centre was formally inaugurated by
Prof. M.K. Bhan, Secretary, Dept. of Biotechnology, Govt.
of India on 16th October, 2004.Since its inception, the
Centre has developed good infrastructure in the form of
32 Computers/laptops, two servers (one is used as web
server and other as internal server), Communication equipments
and Printers, one Photocopier, Fax machine, one interactive
class room etc. All the computers are linked through
Local Area Network (LAN) and internet with 256 kbps lease
line. |
| The Centre has procured softwares
like LINUX, ORACLE, WINDOWS NET SERVER, WINDOWS SERVER
2003, BIO-SYSTEMATICA, DNA star, iMAS, GenchekTM, SQL
SERVER, ADOBE ACROBAT PROFESSIONAL and VStudio.Net for
normal bioinformatics work including analysis, software
development, database creation and management. The Centre
has created 5 databases and one software. |
| Major research activities

The Department of Agricultural
Biotechnology is engaged in research on following areas
in Agricultural Biotechnology:
- Biofortification of cereal crops for enhanced zinc
and iron content
- Development of DNA-based diagnostics for important
plant diseases
- Molecular mapping of disease resistance genes and
other agronomically important traits in rice, lentil
& peas.
- Development of SNPs and SSR markers for genetic
mapping in Lens and Trifolium species
- Development of gene-targeted markers (GTMs) for
marker assisted selection in rice.
- Using molecular markers for diversity studies of
different crop plants and pathogens.
