Transcriptomic Analysis of Usnea sp.
This project aims to study transcriptome of Usnea sp. with intent to analyze the expression profile of the genes involved in synthesis of therapeutically significant secondary metabolites. This study also looking for avenues to engineer the particular pathway to enhance the production of said secondary metabolite. The project outcome in large, will benefit the society by overproducing the medically important metabolites in a cost effective manner.
