INDIAN INSTITUTE OF
ADVANCED RESEARCH, GANDHINAGAR
The objectives of the centre
are compilation of information on plants and their pathogens
and tropical pathogens in a user friendly manner. Tritryp
portal having detailed information on proteome of tritryps
has been developed an hosted on IIAR website and other
databases and tools like on AdhesinProfile, a database
on adhesins; ProtAnno for predicting adhesion like proteins,
GluD for finding distance between sugar rings in carbohydrates
and a database on plant pathogens have been developed
for free use by the community. Regular training programs
have been undertaken at the centre.
Major research activities
Various research groups
in the Institute are working in the areas of Plant biotechnology
for gene prospecting and enhanced functionalities, understanding
the factors responsible for virulence in pathogens like
Vibrio spp. in the human health, understanding the role
of various factors in apoptosis in cell biology and
genome analysis in bioinformatics.
