Description Scientists in ICRISAT’s Global Theme on Biotechnology employ a range of modern
genomic technologies in their efforts to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of crop
improvement. These include high-throughput genotyping technologies. The rate-limiting
step in genomics is no longer data generation but rather the speed, at which data is
captured, validated, analyzed and turned into useful knowledge. The role of
Bioinformatics is to remove this rate-limiting step through the development of software
platforms for handling large volumes of data generated and facilitate its analysis. The
term ‘platform’ implies all those vital services and technologies that are needed to
support genomics research projects at all of ICRISAT locations. Bioinformatics at
ICRISAT functions both as a research and research support unit.
Research efforts in Bioinformatics at ICRISAT focus on two major areas. One relates to
infrastructure development which includes: (a) the development of appropriate software
and efficient protocols for data capture, storage, retrieval and dissemination..........
