Microbial community fitness boost: Adaptive laboratory evolution

DNA tales August 12, 2021August 11, 2021 1

Sayak Banerjee, Amity University Kolkata Adaptive laboratory evolution has become a substantial tool for the development of microbial strains with enhanced genetically modified features. The long-term Escherichia coli evolution experiment is a good example. It has emphasized how evolution under adequate conditions can be utilized to understand adaptive processes. These experiments have helped to determine the possible evolutionary […]

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, […]

The first-ever CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing in marsupials

BioTech Today July 25, 2021July 24, 2021 2

Sneha Singhal, Jaypee Institute of information technology, Noida RIKEN researchers have developed the first genetically engineered marsupial at their Biosystem Dynamics Research (BDR) facility. In the world of marsupials, the grey short-tailed opossum (Monodelphis Domestica) is one of the few popularly studied laboratory animals. Researchers, who published their findings in Current Biology, are getting closer […]

The upcoming age of limitless Biohacking

BioTech Today July 6, 2021July 5, 2021

Akash Singh, Banaras Hindu University We’ve discovered the structure of DNA, the blueprint for life, constructed computers to read it, and mastered the power to rewrite it in the last 70 years. With real-time genomic sequencing and new-generation mRNA vaccinations, gene technologies have allowed us to track and combat COVID-19 faster than any other outbreak […]

Anaerobic gut fungi make way for novel antibiotic production

BioTech Today June 27, 2021June 26, 2021 5

Sayak Banerjee, Amity University Kolkata Secondary Metabolites as a Natural Defense System in Microbes: All living beings inherit a natural defence system for ascertaining their survival. Microorganisms are mostly dependent upon the synthesized natural products that serve as a defence system against threats posed by the environment. This enables them to fight against other microorganisms. […]

GEMys: Genetically Engineered Myeloid Cells Can stop the spread of Cancer?

bioxone April 4, 2021April 4, 2021

Koustav Maiti, Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda Centenary College, Rahara Cancer can be defined by two properties: 1. They reproduce cells by the violation of normal cell growth and division, and 2. They occupy other regions conserved for other normal cells by the properties of invasion and metastasis. Metastasis is the most important character of cancer cells […]

Is gene transfer possible between insects and plants?

bioxone April 2, 2021April 2, 2021 1

Camelia Bhattacharyya, Amity University Kolkata According to Charles Darwin, “It’s not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change”. This quote or saying has proven itself true over the centuries and recent findings glorify the line even more. While studying ecological relationships amongst different species, […]

Fluoride – our newest approach to fighting antibiotic resistance bacteria

bioxone January 20, 2021January 20, 2021

Sumedha Guha, Techno India University One of the growing challenges of the modern world is the rise in the number of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Two main causes of this problem can be traced back to the overuse of antibiotics as prescription drugs and rise in the usage of antibiotics as selection markers in laboratory experiments. Michelle […]

THE ORIGIN OF INSECT WINGS: DECIPHERING THE CENTURY OLD PUZZLE

bioxone December 12, 2020December 12, 2020 1

Anannya Roy, Amity University Kolkata Who soared the empty skies 360 million years ago? Not the Pterosaurs. Not the Birds. Definitely not the Bats. They were the Insects. They flew before anything else did. The origin of wings among these tiny arthropods was however an enigma, it bugged the Scientists for over a Century. There […]

Sleep Promotion via thermo-sensitive GABA transmission.

bioxone November 26, 2020November 26, 2020 1

Richismita Hazra, Amity University Kolkata Genes and the neural network together regulate animal sleep. The importance of quality and restful sleep has been dealt with innumerable times before. It was more than 2000 years ago that Greek physician Hippocrates wrote, “Disease exists if either sleep or watchfulness be excessive.” However, our sleep and sleeping habits […]
