Bioinformatics

Hi.Yes, it is easy to get admission in Sri Ramachandra Faculty of Engineering and Technology for B.Sc. in Bioinformatics.

Sri Ramachandra Faculty of Engineering and Technology offers a 3 years B.Sc. in Bioinformatics course at the UG level. To get admitted to Sri Ramachandra Faculty of Engineering and Technology B.Sc. in Bioinformatics course, applicants must meet the entry requirements -

State Board HSC (+2) or equivalent with subjects Mathematics, Physics as compulsory, Chemistry, Computer Science, Biology and any other eligible subjects with an aggregate of 55% of marks in the said subject.

Admissions are strictly on the basis of merit. Candidates also need to appear for the SRET Entrance exam

Thanks 

Here are some common skills required to pursue a PhD in Bioinformatics:

• Software Development Skills: To analyze data, you need to be able to write programs that perform automated analyses of large datasets. This includes both the creation and analysis of mathematical models for predictions. And the implementation of these models using computer algorithms. 
• Data Management Skills: You will need to manage data sets so that they are accessible for analysis. For example. By creating databases, writing scripts for data importation or deletion, and processing large volumes of data daily. 
• Communication Skills: You will need to present your findings to both your peers. And the wider scientific community at conferences and other academic events. Where you can present your work in detail. 
• Strong Quantitative Skills: Including proficiency in programming, statistics, and data analysis.

The goal of PhD in Bioinformatics research is to provide a bridge between molecular biology and computational biology and increase access to health care through the use of computers and information technologies.
Bioinformatics focuses on analysing large amounts of data to provide insight into how biological systems work. It is used in areas such as genomics, proteomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics and epigenomics.
The field has developed significantly over recent years as more data sets have become available to researchers and have led to new applications being identified for existing tools and new methods being developed by scientists in academia and industry.

Yes, Bioinformatics is used in many areas at NASA, including: 

• Space Biology initiatives: Bioinformaticians at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) contribute to NASA's Space Biology initiatives, including plant biology, translational research, and the GeneLab database.
• Mars Missions: Bioinformatics is used to analyze data gathered during Mars missions, including information about the planet's atmosphere, geology, and potential for life.
• Analysis Working Groups (AWGs): NASA's GeneLab recruits bioinformaticians, postdocs, graduate students, and investigators to participate in AWGs. These groups analyze data from spaceflight experiments to generate new knowledge.
• GeneLab for Universities (GL4U): This programme provides space biology-relevant bioinformatics training to the next generation of scientists.
• Space Crop Production: Bioinformatics is used in space crop production projects, which may also involve plant molecular genetics, microbiology, and plant/microbial interactions.
