Shreyas Bhat, DY Patil school of biotechnology and bioinformatics Matisse or MATLAB analysis toolbox for in place Sequencing a revolutionary in place method to be implemented and used for cell sequence profiling there is the various method available for sequencing of cells and tissues however there are only a few methods that determine the sequence in place (in the reaction mixture) also these […]
Aqsa, Jamia Millia Islamia A nucleosome is a DNA segment of 147-bp coiled around a histone octamer. Each histone octamer is made up of two copies of each of the histone proteins H2A, H2B, H3, and H4. It is the fundamental subunit of chromatin. Although it seems that the nucleosome has its significance only in […]
Varuni Ankolekar, Clinical Data Manager at Quartesian Researchers have identified that cells have their own internal gauge to monitor their own size. The key protein behind this, or in other words, “cells’ internal gauge” is KRP4 protein, which is responsible for regulating cell size. What is a Cell? What are the different components of a […]
Anannya Roy, Amity University Kolkata Malaria is a mosquito-borne disease that torments mankind, caused by the parasite plasmodium. Researchers at Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical research have understood how the body’s natural immunity can be manipulated to prevent malaria, bringing us one step closer to new potential therapy. The causative organism of this […]
Anannya Roy, Amity University Kolkata CRISPR- Cas 9 gene-editing system, we all have heard of that isn’t it? A giant in Gene editing. Well here’s the thing- There is something even more interesting than that. Retrons: A group of researchers at Harvard University and Harvard Medical School have created a new gene-editing tool called Retron […]

-Pratyushee Ghosh, Amity University Kolkata In pursuit of life everlasting, some turn to God. Others turn to science. Or rather, something scientific!If you have ever thought of being cryogenically frozen, you may encounter a legal hurdle. While human cryonics is legal in several countries, you’ve got to be dead before going into the cryonics tank! Otherwise, freezing someone alive is tantamount to killing. So, as it […]
-Sayak Biswas, Amity University Kolkata Cells are made up of a specifically hostile environment. This hostile environment contains numerous immune sensors that help to detect infections caused by viruses. Production of interferons (IFN) takes place and the intracellular DNA plays a massive role in the inducing of the IFN. The cytosolic DNA gets recognized by […]
