Vaishnavi Kardale, Bioinformatics Centre, Savitribai Phule Pune University Rice is one of the most popular staple crops with about half of the world population consuming it every day. Rice unfortunately is sensitive to salt especially the seedling and reproductive stage as compared to other developmental stages. Global rice production is threatened due to reduced yield […]
Sneha Singhal, Jaypee Institute of information technology, Noida What is the Rett Syndrome? Rett syndrome also called RTT, is a rarely occurring genetic neurological or brain disorder. As a developmental disorder, it is found mostly in girls. There are severe functional impairments associated with Rett syndrome, affecting nearly every aspect of the child’s life. Language […]
Priasha Dutta, Amity University Kolkata The story of RNA Our understanding of the molecular biology of gene regulation has come a long way since the term “The Central Dogma” was coined in 1957. While early research was dedicated to comprehending DNA and proteins mostly, RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) biology has since gained a growing amount of […]
Chitra Roy, University of Calcutta MicroRNA is a non-protein-coding RNA molecule about 18-22 nucleotides long which post-transcriptionally regulates various gene expression through genetic and epigenetic mechanisms. They have several target genes on mRNA and the complementarity of microRNA-mRNA is the basis of gene silencing either by inhibiting the translation process or by directly degrading the […]
-Biswadeep Sen, Amity University Kolkata We all can agree to the fact that despite the advancement in the treatments and technology, Lung Cancer is still, by far, the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Amongst the multiple oncogenic driver alterations discovered the one with the most frequent aberration is KRAS mutation. To make matters worse, […]
-Binayak Das, Team bioXone The formation of a cleft-palate or cleft-lip in an individual is due to the combined contributions of both genetic and environmental factors. Years of research have now revealed that differential expressions caused due to epigenetic factors like DNA methylation and histone modifications can help us determine the exact genes responsible for […]
