In order to develop strong research and development (R & D) base and capabilities, DBT has set up service oriented infrastructural facilities in the following areas:
(i) Germplasm banks for plants, animals, algae and microbes.
(ii) Animal houses.
(iii) Oligonucleotide synthesis (DNA synthesizers) and sequencing (automatic sequencers)
(iv) Production, import and distribution of enzymes, reagents, and radio-labelled compounds.
(v) Bioprocess optimization and pilot plants.
(vi) Genetic engineering R & D units.
(vii) Centre for reproductive biology and molecular endocrinology.
(viii) Carbohydrate cell surface and cellular transport.
