Inter Disciplinary Centre for Plant Genomics

The Inter-disciplinary Centre for Plant Genomics (ICPG) endeavours to carry out frontline research in the area of plant genomics, to apply knowledge gained from basic concepts in structural and functional genomics for crop improvement, to foster nation-wide network in plant genomics research through virtual lab concept and serve as gateway for information, to train and enrich human resources in the area of genomics and to provide a platform for interaction at institutional and inter-institutional levels. ICPG is involved in research on functional genomics of rice and sequencing as well as genome/transcriptome analysis of rice, tomato, sugarcane, wheat, mulberry and Mycobacterium.
