Prama Ghosh, Amity University Kolkata Researchers at the University of Bonn, Germany, have identified and developed novel antibody fragments against the SARS coronavirus-2. These antibody fragments are smaller than classic antibodies and hence are called nanobodies. These nanobodies are better at penetrating the tissues and also can be produced in large quantities. The nanobodies were also […]
Ayooshi Mitra, Amity University Kolkata The production of cereal crops is deeply threatened, throughout the world by seed-borne bacterial diseases. Locally occurring disease resistance remains unclear in different crops. In this study conducted by Matsumoto et. al, it has been observed that under the same pathogen pressure, rice plants of the same cultivar can be distinguished […]
-Ruchita Karmakar, Amity University Kolkata Researchers extracted the nucleic acid from the sludge solid and used the reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) to find the N1 and N2 gene that targets SARs-CoV2. They successfully detected the pathogen in all samples of wastewater. A high-resolution data-set, better than influent and the statistical analysis, emerged from examining wastewater. […]
