Description:  The sequence search option offers a BLAST search of the Lathyrus CDS, mRNA, protein and whole genome sequences via  Sequence Server implementation. Input can either be protein or DNA sequences in FASTA format.

Blast Database Files : 

1)    “Lathyrus final CDS”: Coding sequences of Lathyrus sativus.

2)    “Lathyrus final mRNA”: mRNA of Lathyrus sativus.

3)    “Lathyrus genome”: Whole genome assembly of Lathyrus sativus.

4)    “Lathyrus final proteins”: Protein sequences of Lathyrus sativus.

North East Indian Rice Project:


The North-Eastern region (NER) of India is known for its rich diversity of indigenous rice landraces. This region is a hotspot for rice biodiversity. Black rice and Joha rice are two distinct varieties of rice from the NER of India, and they are known for their unique characteristics such as anthocyanin content, which is a type of antioxidant. Black rice, also known as Chakhao in Manipur, is famous for its dark purple-black grains. This color is due to its high anthocyanin content. Unlike black rice, Joha rice has a low anthocyanin content and is primarily valued for its aromatic qualities and taste. The accumulation of significant levels of anthocyanin is a characteristic associated with the process of rice domestication. Thus, gaining insights into the genetic underpinnings of this trait is not only essential for enhancing rice quality but also yields valuable insights into the domestication history of rice. This project employed a pan-genome approach along with data from RNA-seq and small RNA-seq analyses conducted at various developmental stages of the grain which is a valuable resource to investigate the origins, domestication history, and anthocyanin biosynthesis pathways of Black rice. With this project, not only the genome assembly of North-Eastern region of India rice landraces has been made available in the public domain but also the comparative pan-genomic analysis of 8 NER genomes.

Software Name: SSFinder

Publication Title: SSFinder: High Throughput CRISPR-Cas Target Sites Prediction Tool

Publication Abstract: Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated protein (Cas) system facilitates targeted genome editing in organisms. Despite high demand of this system, finding a reliable tool for the determination of specific target sites in large genomic data remained challenging. Here, we report SSFinder, a python script to perform high throughput detection of specific target sites in large nucleotide datasets.The SSFinder is a user-friendly tool, compatible with Windows, Mac OS, and Linux operating systems, and freely available online.
