Nandini Pharasi, Jaypee institute of information technology Human Genome Project: HGP is an international project whose main goal was to sequence the entire human genome. It mainly focused on identifying and mapping all the genes in the human genome. The cost was a billion dollars and 13 years marking the beginning of a new era […]
Avani Dave, Jai Hind College Natural selection has evidently preserved several specific sites in the human genome that allow an atypical 3-D conformation of the DNA which are referred to as G-quadruplexes (G4s). A new study demonstrates an increased occurrence and high stability of these not-so-usual G-quadruplexes if they are situated either in the sequences […]
Neha khan, Jamia Millia Islamia The Human Genome Project had been started, aiming at curing deadly diseases and making healthcare facilities better. The human genome project (HGP) was launched in the year 1990 and was called a megaproject. It was a collaboration of International, government, and private companies’ effort to map and sequence the entire […]
Anuska Sen, Team BioXone Indeed, as said by American biotechnologist, Craig Venter, “Life is a DNA software system”. In simple terms, it can be said that DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) contains all the necessary instructions required for an organism to grow, divide, reproduce and even survive. It replicates to pass on genetic information and also provides […]
– Ayushman Kumar Banerjee, Research Intern at Institute of Bioinformatics, Bangalore Back in 2018, 10X Genomics acquired Stockholm-based Spatial Transcriptomics marking another milestone in the domain of omics analytics. As the term suggests, spatial transcriptomics (ST) is an in-situ quantification technology that allows visualization of transcriptomes in specific tissue selections. The central idea behind ST […]
