Indian Institute of Spices Research will host a national symposium on ‘Recent Trends in Omics in Plant Biology’ from May 20 to 22 in Kozhikode. The event is being organised by the institute’s Bioinformatics and Integrative Genomics Facility, with financial assistance from the Department of Biotechnology, Ministry of Science and Technology.
The symposium will bring together scientists, academicians, research scholars and industry representatives from across the country to deliberate on the rapidly evolving field of Omics technologies and their applications in plant science and agriculture.
It will feature plenary lectures by leading experts, technical paper presentations and panel discussions covering a spectrum of themes. These include genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics and bioinformatics. Sessions will also explore genome editing technologies, horti-informatics and the role of artificial intelligence and computational tools in advancing plant research and sustainable agriculture.
The event is open to scientists, faculty members, postgraduate and doctoral scholars and professionals from the agri-biotech and bioinformatics industry.
The institute is also organising a pre-symposium workshop on May 20 to provide hands on training in omics tools and data analysis techniques in transcriptomics, computational metagenomics, Genome wide association studies and machine learning.
