COMPUTER:
There are altogether 2 computer terminals with LAN and internet facility. These are used for the preparation of departmental presentation and conduction of bioinformatics classes. The students also use the internet facility for various research related activies and also carry out the practicals related to bioinformatics, Evolutionary biology, Genetics, Biostatistics and Natural Resource management. Some of the softwares used in the department are –
- S. Office
- ALLELLE A1
- MEGA 5
- CLUSTAL W
- Ecological Footprint Analyser.
- Pedigree Analysis Worksheet (NGSS)
