Rohit Bhattacharjee, Amity University, Kolkata A typical kitchen scrap in Africa—shells of ostrich eggs—is presently unscrambling the secret of when these progressions occurred, giving a course of events to probably the first Homo sapiens who settled down to use marine food assets along the South African coast over 100,000 years prior. Geochronologists have built up […]
Sagnik Nag , Amity University, Kolkata Currently, India as a developing nation with an average population of 1.34 billion, is fighting a battle against the lethal Coronavirus. Swift and agile efforts to mitigate the health effects of COVID-19 by the state and central governments are yielding some positive results. This pandemic has been a catastrophe […]
Aakancha Shaw, St. Xavier’s College, Kolkata Researchers discovered a new approach to cereal plant breeding that makes them continuously reorganize themselves (global coherence) and takes into account the internal ‘calculator’ of plant seeds. The approach basically includes unintended changes in the plant when genetically manipulated by the plant breeders. It is expected that the method […]
Husna, Amity University Kolkata The purpose of living life is not just to be happy or to be successful in a particular field but, to be honourable and to be able to empathize with the people suffering around you. That happiness and pleasure which you get after helping a needy person can’t be counted on […]
Richismita Hazra, Amity University Kolkata Heart disease is the leading cause of death all across the globe. It can undoubtedly be called as ‘World’s No.1 Killer’. One of the major and common causes of this killer disease is atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis refers to the piling up of fats, cholesterol, and other substances in and on our […]
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 […]
