A faster COVID diagnostic test with two CRISPR enzymes

DNA tales August 11, 2021August 10, 2021

Sayak Banerjee, Amity University Kolkata In this current spread of outbreaks, specifically with the emergence of more transmissible variants, frequent rapid testing for COVID-19 is a vital requirement. For that purpose, qRT-PCR (quantitative reverse-transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction), the gold standard COVID-19 diagnostic test, is employed these days. This method generally entails specialized equipment, a centralized laboratory facility, […]

Unveiling the features of within-host dynamics in malaria

BioTech Today July 26, 2021July 25, 2021 2

Avani Dave, Jai Hind College The fidelity of disease model predictions is based on precisely describing the incorporated processes and parameters. Several different models exist and help in describing the dynamics observed in the host during malaria infection. That being said, there is insufficient clinical data that can be utilized for the quantitative validation and […]

Closteroviridae: An exceptional virus family in wild citrus plants

BioTech Today July 15, 2021July 15, 2021 1

Sayak Banerjee, Amity University Kolkata Viromics or viral metagenomics techniques have led to the characterization of many new plant viruses. This has been broadening our understanding of the evolution and ecology of plant viruses in nature. Generally, the knowledge regarding citrus viruses has been highly inclined towards virus pathology in cultivated orchards. Recently, scientists have […]
