Genome Club Inauguration The Genome Club of The Institute of Bioresources and Sustainable Development, Imphal was formally inaugurated by Prof. I. S. Khaidem, former Vice-Chancellor, Manipur University at a function attended by many scientists and distinguished invitees from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research, Manipur University, Central Agricultural University, colleges and other institutions. The genome club with the vision of “genetic literacy for all” will have its focus on recent technological developments in the field of biotechnology application on Bioresources utilization and its impact on human welfare. This friendly forum will bring together all interested persons to know/ share/ debate about the biotechnological research and developments. Genome club meetings features, at present, invited lectures, training, awareness programs, seminars, etc. in the Institute.

Bioinformatics Centre:

The Institute of Bioresources and Sustainable Development, (An autonomus Institute of the Department of Biotechnology, Govt. of India) Takyelpat, Imphal was established in the year 2001 to carry out research and development work in basic and applied areas of bioresources conservation, management and utilization of the Indian region of Indo-Burma megabiodiversity hotspot for socio economic Development of the region. Presently Institute carries out research work in Plant, Microbial, and Bioresources database development of the North Eastern region.

The Bioinformatics Centre at the Institute of Bioresources and Sustainable Development was established under Biotechnology Information System Network (BTISNet) of DBT in the year 2006. This centre is having a state of the art bioinformatics laboratory with all the necessary requirements like software, hardware and internet facilities for the researchers and students of the region. The centre is maintaining and developing a biodiversity database for the North East region on Flora, Fauna and Microbes of the region. Some training programmes have been successfully organised by the centre to train the teachers and researchers in the field of bioinformatics.

Mandate of the Centre:

•	To develop database in the areas of biological sciences
•	To organise training programmes in bioinformatics

Main thrust area:

•	Biodiversity Informatics
