Our Sub-Departments

      We use genomics and conservative genetics for identifying new inherited diseases and to solve them with suitable medical techniqes.

       It helps to understand the dynamics of genes in populations principally to avoid extinction.

    It applies genetic methods to the conservation and restoration of biodiversity. 

      It provides the theory and methods to estimate historical and current genetic diversity and to predict the future distribution of genetic diversity in populations and species.

      Caste determination is usually based on nutritional and endocrine factors, the ultimate determinant is the treatment of the developing larvae.

  We use them as a candidate mechanism by which parental phenotypes influence caste determination of offspring.

     For example, honeybees are noted for their use of queen pheromone to affect caste determination.

      We use Genome mapping to identify and record the location of genes and the distances between genes on a chromosome. 

            It aims to discover, genotype and provide accurate haplotype information on all forms of human DNA polymorphism in multiple human populations.    

    A sequence spells out the order of every DNA base in the genome

and  a map simply identifies a series of landmarks in the genome.

       These both combinely helps to define the genes of an organism.

 

​

   Population structure, including population stratification and cryptic relatedness, can cause spurious associations in genome-wide association studies (GWAS).

       Published GWAS have clearly shown that there are many loci underlying genetic variation for a wide range of complex diseases and traits, implying that a substantial proportion of the genome should show inflation of the test statistic.

         We use this for various genetic testing.

  

       DNA sequences are passed from parent to child in a stable manner, these genetic variations provide a tool for distinguishing the members of one population from those of the other.

        New gene-based "designer drugs" will be coming on the market for diabetes, hypertension, mental illness, and a long list of other conditions. The diagnosis and treatment of cancer will likely be transformed.

     It may cause a loss in human diversity.

​

       It is the use of recombinant DNA techniques to manipulate genetic information within and between plants, animals and microorganisms” to produce genetically modified organisms.

       We use this  to generate tailor-made bacterial cultures.

             It is being applied to identify causative mutations or linked genetic markers that give rise to differences in phenotypes.
