Thota Kanishka Rao, Amity University Kolkata Following the resolution of long-standing technical challenges by scientists at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, scientists can now study changes in the DNA of any human tissue for the first time. The new method, known as nanorate sequencing (NanoSeq), allows researchers to study how genetic changes occur in human tissues […]
Rohit Bhattacharjee, Amity University, Kolkata. The dumbo or finned octopuses are a group of remote ocean staying octopuses that incorporate around 45 species. Among cephalopods, they establish moderately uncommon creatures, despite shaping up a huge piece of the megafauna in remote ocean living spaces of the World Ocean down to in any event 7,000 m (4.3 […]
Ayooshi Mitra, Amity University Kolkata Deep Learning, a popular artificial intelligence method, is a powerful tool for surveying and categorizing biological data. Deep-learning tools could also assist researchers in stratifying disease types, understanding disease subpopulations, discovering new treatments, and matching them with suitable patients for clinical testing and treatment. A deep learning (DL) algorithm that […]
Sagnik Nag , Amity University, Kolkata Using genetic engineering, human cells can one day produce a squid protein that can help humans to varying their transparency and can lead to a see-through tissue. According to this theory, scientists claim that this can get better images of living tissues under the microscope. As a far fetched […]
Sampriti Roy, University of Calcutta The concept of herd immunity states that when a large part of a population in an area has developed immunity against a certain disease, the virus or bacteria causing the disease has a significantly lesser chance of spreading from one person to another in that area. As a result, the […]
Anannya Roy, Amity University Kolkata Lots of living organisms are used in Biotechnology as protein production hosts. They are extremely useful in drug development, biopharmaceuticals, and protein delivery. In this new research, earthworms are developed as next-generation animal protein production hosts, something that has never been done before. Escherichia coli, our favorite bacteria has been […]
Camelia Bhattacharyya, Amity University Kolkata Memories, something we all look back to; it holds stories of joy, happiness, pain and all the firsts in life. Thus, memories are special, and they are the most prized possession. But what if these memories are lost along with the loss of proper functioning of the brain and the […]

The aim of any rewilding event is to promote self-sustenance of an ecosystem, such that it has conditions that require minimal external maintenance. This approach is especially essential right now due to the […]
