What are CSIR’s successes in the field of Bioinformatics?
BioSuite Eighteen research institutes and three industries, were brought together to develop the comprehensive, portable and versatile software package christened ‘BioSuite’. Led by TCS, the team has developed the software, which will serve as a multipurpose tool for carrying out diverse bioanalyses ranging from gene analysis to comparative genomics, pathway modeling to homology modeling and molecular visualization & manipulation to drug designing. The software has several unique features, which are not present in similar other packages available in the market. BioSuite comprises eight modules involving 114 sub modules and 243 algorithms. SofComp The NMITLI project entitled, “Cost effective Simple Office Computing (SofComp) platform to replace PC” sought to develop platform technology based on Linux. The Simple Office Computers (SofComp) are thus based on a System-on-Chip architecture with a high degree of integration and several innovative features.
