Saakshi Bangera, DY Patil School of Biotechnology and Bioinformatics Genomic profiling technologies of a high-throughput level generate a massive number of omics data. This is because such technologies enable biological system analysis at different omics levels. Statistical analysis of omics data tests the relationship between omics aspects and a covariate of interest. Observational omics studies […]
Jerry John, D.Y Patil University According to the fossil records, the life of our earth is about 3.5 billion years and these planets hold wonders in it. If we see deep into these beauties, we can find different organisms from different habitats. In 1862 Bates, observed several simple and conspicuous color patterns distantly related to […]
Vaishnavi Kardale, Bioinformatics Centre, Savitribai Phule Pune University Breast cancer is the second most common type of cancer in women after skin cancer. It is caused by uncontrollable growth in breast cells which then accumulate, resulting in the formation of a lump or mass. Breast cancer can be caused by mutations in genes. Some of […]
Husna, Amity University Kolkata RNA determines the identity of the cell and directs the responses to the cellular needs of the body. These diverse cellular functions are possible due to the vast chemical composition of RNA which comprises four ribonucleotides (A, C, G, and U) and more than 140 modified ribonucleotides. Several years of RNA […]
Soumya Shraddhya Paul, Amity University, Noida The DNA structure, twist, and properties depend on the external stimuli. The common structure of the DNA is helical, and it tends to maintain this helicity in order to remain in its stable form. But through recent studies scientists are trying to show how helicity can be influenced or […]
Monika R, PSG College of Technology, Coimbatore Stem cell transplantation (SCT) has emerged as the treatment of choice for most people suffering from disorders of the hematopoietic and immune systems or cancer. Each year, 12,000-15,000 allogeneic SCTs are estimated worldwide, with a continuing growth rate of 10-20% per year. Allogeneic SCT is a medical procedure […]
Nandini Pharasi, Jaypee Institute of Information Technology Co-relation between life forms: Association between two different life forms that eat from the same bowl is known as commensalism. Commensalism is a relationship between species in which one benefits while the other is neither affected nor harmed. These bacteria do not harm them but depend on them […]
Aqsa, Jamia Millia Islamia Cancer is a disease in which cells of the body grow abnormally and uncontrollably. Until now, there is still no permanent cure for cancer, but getting treatment for cancer might allow you to live for a certain period. Research for the cure of cancer has been underway for about 100 years […]
Avani Dave, Jai Hind College Breast cancer gene BRCA1 has marked its presence as a protein mostly known for being an active contributor in the hereditary associated breast cancer. Apart from being the villain, BRCA1 also plays an indispensable role in the cellular machinery that works towards repairing the double-strand DNA breakage. Recently, researchers from […]
Saptaparna Dasgupta, Bennett University Chloroplasts turn off photosynthesis during immunological activation, generate antimicrobial chemicals, and connect to a nucleus through tubes known as stromules. Although the alteration of chloroplast in a light reaction is well documented, the dynamics of the migration of chloroplasts in response to pathogen attack are less characterized. It is depicted in […]
