About Us

SeeHaBITaT is an online resource hosting variety of bioinformatics applications. SeeHaBITaT is named after the people who developed this application; and it stands for SEEthalakshmi HAbeeb BIoinformaTics habitAT. It is a mixture of both the database and the tools needed to analyze the data stored in it.

SeeHaBITat is organized under three hierarchies, viz, i) Database on Tospoviruses (Togribase & MOLBIT), ii) Bioinformatics applications to analyze the sequence data (SRMBIT), and iii) Secondary Structure Prediction tools (SS with PDB).

SeeHaBITat, is an attempt towards bringing in validation of the secondary structure predictions done by Chou – Fasman & Neural Networks methods. This is a unique fact of our attempt which validates the secondary structure predictions with the experimental results of PDB & PDBSUM.

This entire habitat has been developed using Perl – CGI, PHP, MYSQL, HTML, CSS, and ADOBE PHOTOSHOP.

SRM University is one of the top ranking Universities in India with over 38,000 students and more than 2600 faculty across all the campus, offering a wide range of undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral programs in Engineering, Management, Medicine and Health sciences, and Science and Humanities.

The department of bioinformatics of this University started in the year 2004 – 05 under the Engineering stream with an intention to contribute to the global requirement for the bioinformatics intellectuals. The department offers undergraduate, postgraduate and doctorate programs and has very strong research professionals from applied fields.
