We have a new name and a new site! >>
The most important of our isolates needs to be comprehensively characterized for the full exploitation of their useful properties which can be achieved by their genome analysis. The genome analysis of microbes can provide a comprehensive view of their genetic makeup and evolutionary history. It helps in identifying their genes responsible for various functions such as metabolism, virulence, antibiotic resistance, and symbiosis. Therefore, in order to have a detailed understanding of our microbes at the genetic level, we have their whole genome sequenced followed by an extensive genome-mining leading towards identification of the genes of probiotic and industrial importance.
To find out the diversity and distribution of metabolically important genes and proteins across bacterial and fungal species, we perform their sequence analysis and look for key sequence features. The sequence analysis is an essential tool to investigate the function, structure, and evolution of proteins. With the continued development of sequencing technologies and bioinformatics tools, sequence analysis of proteins and enzymes can play a critical role in understanding the molecular biology and biochemistry of microbes and other organisms.
