Aakancha Shaw, St. Xavier’s College, Kolkata Just a few months after the Covid-19 pandemic began, scientists were able to sequence the full genome of the SARS-CoV-2virus that had caused the infection. Most of its genes were already known then but the full complement of protein-coding genes remained unresolved. After performing an extensive comparative study, researchers […]
Thota Kanishka Rao, Amity University Kolkata A, C, T, and G are the four building blocks of DNA. However, some bacteriophage viruses use a particular DNA alphabet to encode their genetic instructions., i.e, exchange A for Z. Scientists in Russia announced more than 40 years ago that cyanophage S-2L, a form of bacteriophage, replaces the […]
Anannya Roy, Amity University Kolkata One of the main functions a cell performs is the synthesis of proteins. This is done with the help of a set of factors called “transcription factors”. A team of researchers from Uppasala University have succeeded in studying transcription factors that are several billion years old. The studies helped them […]
Thota Kanishka Rao, Amity University Kolkata Following the resolution of long-standing technical challenges by scientists at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, scientists can now study changes in the DNA of any human tissue for the first time. The new method, known as nanorate sequencing (NanoSeq), allows researchers to study how genetic changes occur in human tissues […]
Thota Kanishka Rao, Amity University Kolkata Investigation of old environmental DNA (eDNA) has altered our capacity to portray biological communities in reality, by taking into consideration equal sequencing of DNA from every trophic level. Be that as it may, because ecological samples contain sparse and fragmented information from various individuals, and regularly contain firmly related […]

Prama Ghosh, Amity University Kolkata The SARS-CoV-2 virus has infected millions around the globe since its transmission in the human host. Extensive diversification of the virus including significant molecular differences has resulted in failure to diagnose the virus. The virus undergoes continuous evolution and adaptation inside the body of the host, which helps it to survive […]
Sristi Raj Rai, Amity University Kolkata DNA sequencing is one of the key vertebrae that form the backbones of the evolving areas in the field of Biology and other sciences. It is a process that helps us to figure out the sequence in which the nucleotides are arranged in a DNA molecule. Thus, it can […]
Anannya Roy, Amity University Kolkata Microbial Ecology known as environmental microbiology is the study of microorganisms’ relationship with each other as well as their environment. The main goal of researchers in this department is to capture the maximum amount of information from all organisms that are present in a given sample. Traditionally DNA-based protocols are […]
Sagnik Nag, Amity University Kolkata Our blood serves as an imperative circulatory fluid transporting many chemical substances and respiratory gases throughout the body. There are certain molecules present in the blood which serve as markers providing indications towards the state of our health. Molecules such as hormones and drugs directly or indirectly affect the health […]
