Morung Express | IANS | Kolkata, Aug 11
Aimed at easing access to silk-related web resources, a portal on sericulture designed by Indian researchers comes with a built-in search engine to enable quick and accurate data mining and also seeks to protect indigenous knowledge on the subject.

It is projected as a “database of databases” that pools in information from databases related to seribiodiversity such as those on silkworms, host plants, pests, pathogens and the like.
