Aim and Objective of the Workshop

Basics of Bioinformatics

Raspberry Pi is a powerful tool that can be used in the field of biology and bioinformatics. Its low cost, versatility, and ease of use make it an excellent option for researchers and students who do not have access to expensive computing resources.

The installation of basic bioinformatics tools and access to bioinformatics databases on Raspberry Pi is essential for performing genomics analysis.

Raspberry Pi can be used for NGS analysis and can perform tasks such as sequence alignment, quality control, and variant calling. With the use of Raspberry Pi, genomics analysis has become more accessible and affordable. However, researchers should also be aware of the challenges associated with using Raspberry Pi and ensure that it is suitable for their specific analysis needs.

By utilizing Raspberry Pi, researchers can take advantage of its portability and affordability to perform genomics analysis in various settings, making it an excellent tool for the field of biology and bioinformatics.

Note: Students were given Participation Certificates.
