IBAB is organising a 3-day, hands-on @workshop in offline mode on “Introduction to Machine Learning in Genomics” from Sep 21-23, 2023. Maximum intake is 25 participants on a first-come basis. Registration deadline is Sep 14, 2023. To register: docs.google.com/forms/d/1JpbTq… Department of Biotechnology

We have open PhD positions for those with CSIR/DBT, UGC fellowships in the lab. Please RT. Projects in the lab are very diverse and involve plants. Details in our lab webpage.

CRISPR-Cas13 is tremendously useful for targeting, detecting, imaging, and editing RNA - but we know very little about how it can target structured RNAs, which predominate in nature. (1/19)

Now Nucleic Acids Res our two back-to-back papers with Giulia Palermo lab! 1) We show that MD-directed point mutations select against #offtargets in #Cas13a, paving the way for new SNP-detecting #RNA-diagnostics. academic.oup.com/nar/article/do… Adrian Molina Souvik Sinha Pablo Arantes - @pabloarantes.bsky.social Amun Patel

I'm in my 4th year of #PhD, worked in different labs around the world, heard from several postdocs, PhDs and UG's... Dear supervisors, here are my suggestions to make your research lab a better place & attract talent! PhD Voice - Independently Run PhD_Genie Academic Chatter™ Academic Dilemmas 🧭

Experimentalists in NY be like: "it's -20°F outside and the city has collapsed, but I don't care, I'll go to the lab to feed my cells" Bioinformaticians in NY be like: "there's a chance that it might rain later and my cat is looking cute today, I guess I'm not exiting my cave"

A very proud moment for the IBAB fraternity. Indeed an amazing institute in the country to launch a fruitful career in bioinformatics.

A hallmark of sex is each parent transmits half of their genome through a recombined egg or sperm. What if this was not the case? Check our new paper Nature Genetics where we break this rule via diploid clonal gametes and develop polyploid genome design nature.com/articles/s4158…

Tis the start of a exciting era! Inst. of Bioinformatics and Applied Biotechnology welcomes its new Director, Prof. D. Sundar (ex-IIT Delhi) An elected Fellow of the National Academy of Sciences of India, Prof. Sundar is well recognized for his research in bioinformatics & computational genomics. ITBT Karnataka

It has been a privilege to work with Shiva prasad for my PhD. It was absolute joy working to discover novel regulatory roles of small peptides and the signalling mediated by them. Thanks a lot to all the co-authors- Avik Kumar Pal Ashwin Nair Monoswi Chakraborty Steffi.

Glad to be a part of this fascinating discovery. Congratulations Harshith C Y and all other co-authors. It was a great research stint for me in the lab of Shiva prasad at National Centre for Biological Sciences

Latest paper from Dr P V Shivaprasad, Associate Prof at NCBS, unravelling small-peptide mediated signaling cascade of wound response in monocot plants. 🎉Congratulations to Shiva prasad and team! Harshith C Y Ashwin Nair

Very inspiring! Always a proud mentee.

Glad to be a part of the investigation!
