Be that as it may, because ecological samples contain sparse and fragmented information from various individuals, and regularly contain firmly related […]
Anuska Sen, Team BioXone Indeed, as said by American biotechnologist, Craig Venter, “Life is a DNA software system”. In simple terms, it can be said that DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) contains all the necessary instructions required for an organism to grow, divide, reproduce and even survive.

Sayak Banerjee, Amity University Kolkata Many people have a wrong conception that since DNA damage can occur any time at any genomic site of a neuron, DNA repairs take place throughout the genome arbitrarily. Salk scientists have proved this view to be invalid saying that genomic sites are benefitted. Genomic sites are also known as […]
