Nandini Pharasi, Jaypee Institute of Information Technology CRISPR/Cas9 is a method that allows for the extremely precise and fast alteration of DNA in a genome, which is an organism’s full set of genetic instructions. This illustration demonstrates genome editing. CRISPR is a programmed technique of altering DNA. To utilize it, researchers insert a DNA-cutting enzyme […]
Sayak Banerjee, Amity University Kolkata Palmitoylation and PATs: Several proteins undergo post-translational modification via the addition of a lipid molecule on the amino acid cysteine through a thioester bond. This modification is termed palmitoylation and owing to the incorporation of variable lengths of lipid chains, it is also called S-acylation. Being a reversible lipid modification, […]
Ananya Ghosal, MAKAUT(WB) Guidelines of ASCCP The American cancer society (ASC) released the screening guideline for cervical cancer. The guideline initiates a shift in practice to Human papilloma Virus (HPV) screening at the age of 25-65 years in people with the cervix. The American Society for colposcopy and cervical pathology (ASCCP) acknowledges the risk and […]
Sayak Banerjee, Amity University Kolkata Linking the heel bone and the calf muscles, the Achilles tendon is found as a tough band of fibrous tissue. The calf muscles come together to form a band of tissue, the Achilles tendon, at the lower end of the calf. It then inserts itself into the heel bone where […]
 Ayooshi Mitra, Amity University Kolkata Present transmission rates of SARS-CoV-2 are still on the rise, with second waves of infections being faced by many countries. Rapid SARS-CoV-2 whole-genome sequencing (WGS) is a massive tool for tracking and assessing transmission links but is not so readily available. In a study conducted by a group of researchers, […]
-Surupa Chakraborty, Amity University Kolkata A new CRISPR based test that can diagnose the coronavirus infection within few minutes, joins the race of speedy detection after RT-PCR, rapid testing, and FELUDA test. The potent applications of CRISPR have been talked about for many years now. It is best known for its ability to seek out […]
