NAIP Sponsored Training Programme on Conservation of Plant Genomic Resources



NAIP Sponsored Training Programme on Conservation of Plant Genomic Resources
12-25 March 2012
National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources
Pusa Campus, New Delhi
www.nbpgr.ernet.in

OBJECTIVE
“National Genomic Resources Repository” the latest endeavor of ICAR in the field of genetic resources conservation is being commissioned at NBPGR, New Delhi. Apart from research and service, the  Repository aims at human resources development and awareness generation among peers in NARS about the conservation and utilization of genomic resources.
SCOPE
i) Imparting of theoretical knowledge on technical, legal and implementation aspects of genomic resources conservation
ii) Hands-on demonstration on generation and conservation of genomic resources
HOW TO APPLY?
Eligible Scientists/Researchers should apply through their organizations in the enclosed format. The duly filled applications should be sent to Course Director, National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources, Pusa Campus, New Delhi 110 012 to reach on or before 5th March 2012.
TOPICS

Ø  Genomic resources as a complementary tool in genetic resources conservation
Ø  An overview of types of genomic resources and their conservation methodologies
Ø  International efforts in the area of genomic resources conservation
Ø  Utilization of genomic resources in molecular breeding: breeders’ and biotechnologists’ perspectives
Ø  Whole genome sequencing projects: how to make the best use of spin-off products
Ø  Allele mining projects: Long term utilization of genomic resources
Ø  Meta-genomic projects and conservation of genomic resources
Ø  Genomic resources conservation: Importance of documentation and database
Ø  Intellectual property issues related to genomic resources
Ø  National Genomic Resources Repository: An institutional mechanism to the conservation of genomic resources
PRACTICALS
·         Effect of DNA isolation methodologies and sources (tissues and species) on conservation
·         Generation of genomic resources (renewable and nonrenewable)
·         Transgenes and DNA constructs as genomic resources
·         Genomic resources databases and prior art search and IP on genes
