Debarati Basu, Makaut WB The microorganisms that inhabited our mouths are inclusively known as the oral microbiome. These microorganisms (tiny bacteria, etc.) influence our general wellbeing in numerous ways that are not yet completely comprehended. A few microorganisms cause inflammation, which can lead to periodontitis and other foundational infections, like cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Other […]
-Prerna Jha, NIT Durgapur Microbes Vs. Pathogens Organisms that are of microscopic dimensions are simply referred to as microbes. They are so individually so tiny that we often need the help of microscopes (laboratory devices with high power lenses) to see them with our naked eyes! But not all of them are harmful. Pathogens constitute […]
Debarati Basu, Makaut WB The brain is the most unique and vital organ of the human body. It is composed of nearly 86 billion neurons that help in communication through synapses. These neurons help in performing various body functions that include vision, movement, understanding, consciousness, and so on. Thus it helps in performing the most […]
Shenade Annie Kerketta, Amity University Kolkata Biodiversity is known as the collection of life on Earth at all levels. It covers everything, from genes to ecosystems. In short, biodiversity not only covers rare species but all life forms. Biodiversity is important to restore the balance on Earth. Biodiversity is also important as it provides us […]
Seshadri Dutta, NIIT University Introduction The global population is increasing at an alarming rate, with a quarter of the world’s population anticipated to reach 10 billion in the next 30 years. In the current situation, the most pressing problem facing humanity is ensuring food security for an expanding population. Extreme weather, decreasing agricultural land availability, […]
Parnad Basu, Amity University Kolkata By definition, DNA sequencing refers to a process of determining the order of nucleotides that are present in a DNA sequence. DNA is made of nucleotides. These nucleotides are made of a phosphate group, a sugar group, and nitrogen bases. Nitrogen bases found in DNA are adenine (A), guanine (G), […]
Avani Dave, Jai Hind College Ovarian cancer (OC) is among the most devastating gynaecological cancers, with high incidence and mortality rates across the world, putting women’s health and quality of life at risk. Although radical surgery and chemotherapy are two essential treatments for treating OC, they do not appear to diminish the high recurrence rate […]
Avani Dave, Jai Hind College Inborn errors of immunity (IEI) are a group of approximately 400 monogenic diseases characterized by recurring, severe, or uncommon infections, as well as autoimmunity and autoinflammation. The synthesis of the clinical phenotype, the findings of immunological testing, and the results of genetic testing have identified the main pathogenic mutations required […]
Shayan Ahmed, Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi Biosynthetic Gene Clusters in Streptomyces: Streptomyces genomes have a huge reservoir of uncharacterized Biosynthetic Gene Clusters (BGCs) producing drug-like compounds, sparking renewed interest in these species. However, in laboratory circumstances, a substantial percentage of these BGCs fail to generate measurable amounts of the anticipated chemicals. As a result, […]
Varuni Ankolekar, Quartesian Genome sequencing has helped a cell to disclose much regarding the biological world. It’s a known fact that the short pieces of DNA, ‘Genes’ are the basic unit of inheritance. They are the reason for the development of different traits in organisms. The differences and similarities between organisms help to understand how […]
