Bioinformatics Centre at NIO
was established in 1990 with a focus on marine biodiversity
informatics. It works towards improving the understanding
of the marine biota in the Indian waters. Basic aim of
the Centre is to study and record the marine biodiversity
of Indian waters, and to make it available in the form
of digital data. The main objectives are to collect, collate
and validate all the taxonomic data available from the
Indian Ocean region and catalogue and disseminate the
data electronically to the International Community. |
| The centre makes marine biodiversity
data available in formats which is easy to understand
and can be readily used by the policy makers, research
community, educational institutions and stake holders.
The Centre sees itself as a dynamic component of the National
Institute of Oceanography, and is actively following the
mission of the Institute which is “to continuously
improve our understanding of the seas around us and to
translate this knowledge to benefit all”. |
