Sneha Singhal, Jaypee Institute of information technology, Noida The United States has developed a new CRISPR-Cas system that cuts RNA. It was discovered by the group led by Stan Brouns (Delft University of Technology). Scientists anticipate that the study, published in the August 26 issue of the journal Science, will open up a myriad of […]
Sayak Banerjee, Amity University Kolkata In the year 1977, the Archaebacteria or Archaea, the third domain of life separate from Bacteria and Eukaryota, was proposed by Carl Woese and George Fox. They had analyzed small subunit ribosomal RNA ( SSU rRNA) oligonucleotide fragments from 13 microbes before establishing this proposal. In the late 1980s, the use of SSU rRNA to describe […]
Saptaparna Dasgupta, Bennett University Resistant bacteria are a major concern in modern healthcare and pose a severe threat to public health. In today’s health care system, the development of pathogenic species resistant to antibiotics is one of the biggest difficulties. Public health is increasingly being affected by infections produced by multidrug-resistant bacteria (MDR). Originally, these […]
Avani Dave, Jai Hind College Background In more than 30% of 60–80-year-old men with Mosaic loss of chromosome Y (LOY), a fraction of circulating immune cells lack the Y chromosome, and this aberration is evident in at least 10% of peripheral blood cells. A previous study of men over the age of 90 demonstrated that […]
Laiba Saleem, Aligarh Muslim University Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not any doubt the core way forward for IT, and together with machine learning and data science it holds significant potential in majority fields, and the medicinal industry is not any stranger thereto. From medical/surgical robotics to microchips containing the anamnesis of patients, AI has come […]
Soumya Shraddhya Paul, Amity University, Noida COVID-19 pandemic has caused a lot of turmoil all around the world. According to WHO nearly 164 million people were infected worldwide out of which 3.4 million people lost their lives worldwide. Now, as we know COVID 19 is a respiratory disease caused by SARS-C0V-2 which belongs to the […]
Ananya Ghosal, MAKAUT (WB) Chemotherapy is used to treat cancer patients. During the process of chemotherapy, the effects of the chemotherapeutic agent are to reduce or kill the cancer cells but besides cancer cells, other cell types are also affected which includes cycling blood cells. This process puts the hematopoietic system under pressure and sends […]
Saakshi Bangera, DY Patil School of Biotechnology and Bioinformatics Chemical modifications of nucleotide bases of RNA are important regulators of RNA metabolism. Detecting such modifications may revolutionize transcriptomics, but is equally challenging to develop. RNA profiling concerning the transcriptome is quite difficult due to the lack of effective technology. A solid detection and analysis technique […]
Sneha Singhal, Jaypee Institute of information technology For examining the activity of aging control genes, scientists fed Drosophila (fruit fly) with antibiotics. Activities of most of the aging control genes get changed, and surprisingly, these antibiotics extended the lives of the flies. Drosophila’s life increased by six days after being fed antibiotics. 70% of the […]
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 […]
