-Koustav Maiti, Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda Centenary College, Rahara SSRgenotyper is the SSR (Simple Sequence Repeat) genotyping platform that provides scientists with re-sequence data i.e. whole genome or reduced representational data. SSRs are the microsatellites or simple tandem repeats that are used as genetic markers for genetic markers in the biological field. They are short, multiple-time […]
-Aakancha Shaw, St. Xavier’s College, Kolkata Researchers have identified how the slime mold Physarumpolycephalum saves memories – although it has no nervous system. A new study uncovers the surprising abilities of a highly dynamic, single-celled organism to store and retrieve information about its environment. This ability might be attributed to the body structure of the giant […]
Anannya Roy, Amity University Kolkata Imagine the mushroom you ate for lunch is the same mushroom that you used in your Fitbit smartwatch for measuring the number of footsteps while jogging. Fascinating isn’t it? Science fiction has become a reality in today’s world and yes all this is possible. We learned in our high school […]
