Research Interest

  • Decoding genomic variants of economically important North-eastern flora
  • Integrated genomics and machine learning approaches to identify superior alleles governing plant response to external cues
  • Understanding the role of non-coding transcript landscape in plant development and stress management

Research Opportunity/Student Corner

  • Motivated students (with their own fellowship or looking for fellowship) are encouraged to contact with their Biodata and with one page of research interests.
  • M. Sc. students can apply for their six months dissertation works in our lab.

Projects

  • Decoding the role of long non coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in viral pathogenesis in Bhut Jolokia (Capsicum chinense Jacq.)
  • Harnessing Genomic Variants to Design Targeted SNP Genotyping Assay for Selection of Viral Disease Resistance in Capsicum
  • Integrated genomics approach to decipher the role of key protein-coding and non-coding loci governing Chilli leaf curl disease (ChiLCD) resistance in Capsicum sp.
