Establishment of National Genomic Resource Repository and On-Line Management: PGR-DFP-BUR-DEL-04.01

Much of the success achieved to date  in crop breeding aimed at improvement of crop productivity can be traced to ready access to the diversity &  it’s exploitation  maintained in gene banks. During the last decade huge volumes of  genomic data has been generated resulting from various studies related to isolation of individual candidate genes, dissection of genetic architecture (using QTLs and comparative studies) based on structure and evolutionary relationships among genomes. Of late, popularization of  Marker Assisted Breeding  has contributed to increase in demand from crop researcher for genomic material. For example, users querying genomic databases will want to order material with the interesting sequences in a purified line. Other users will ask the gene bank for accessions with all variation known to exist for a certain gene. Anticipating these demands a National Genomic Resource Repository is established in the year 2010 to collect, generate, conserve and distribute genomic resources of important crops in the Division of Genomic Resources, ICAR - National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources, New Delhi. This repository provides long term conservation and management (includes both physical and on-line database) of available genomic resources. The inter-active genomic repository database is supported by bioinformatics capacity and infrastructure facilitating users to check composition of genomic resources available, make submissions,  updates and retrieve. ​
