DBT Sponsored Center of Excellence
The Department of Biotechnology, Ministry of Science & Technology has awarded Dept. of Bioptechnology & Bioinformatics, Jaypee University of Information Technology a Programme Support on “Elucidation of Biosynthetic Pathways & Development of Gene Markers for High Value Endangered Medicinal Herbs of North-Western Himalayas” under the scheme of Centers of Excellence & Innovation in Biotechnology. The programme support involved modern genomics approaches such as transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics and computational network analysis. The center focused on identification of genes involved in the biosynthesis of major chemical constituents in medicinal plants of importance to India. The outcome of the center resulted in the identification of genetically superior strains of high value medicinal plants but will also provided starting material towards metabolic engineering of plants and microbial hosts.
