About

I am a scientist working at National Institute of Plant Genome Research (NIPGR), New Delhi, India.
In planta, we are exploring the generation and function of novel components (e.g., non-coding RNAs and genes) of genome regulatory circuits by using both computational and experimental approaches. For this purpose, we are using multi-omics datasets, and our choice of molecules includes Transfer RNA (tRNA)-derived non-coding RNAs (tncRNAs), ribosomal RNA-derived fragments (e.g. rRFs), long non-coding RNAs, Fusion transcripts, and novel gene family in legume crops. In addition to this, we are also developing tools and databases for plant genomics research.

Area of research: Bioinformatics, Genomics, Big data analysis, Machine Learning (ML), Deep Learning, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Plant Biotechnology
