microRNA is older than we think

The scientist reports that MicroRNAs control gene expression in a single-celled alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii the  first single-celled organism in which microRNAs have been discovered.  The finding suggests that microRNAs evolved earlier than previously thought, according to the authors. The study published in Nature   by researchers David Baulcombe of the Sainsbury Laboratory in UK

Video in Laboratory

I had mentioned earlier a number websites, that offer scientific videos though many researchers have their own restriants when it comes to using technology whetehr it is open source or peer reviewd journal or blogs itself. Perhaps groups was the only social content driven concept that got off the ground when it comes to science [...]

Gene splicing, SNP, Jumping genes, Transposons

I was looking for an easy way to explain DNA, Gene splicing, SNP, Jumping genes, Transposons and such to a non biologist without using too much technical jargons. And then I came across a study by University of Cambridge about how human mind reacts and learns written text , JUst see if you can read [...]

Cryptography with DNA binary strands

Biotechnological methods can be used for cryptography. Here two different cryptographic approaches based on DNA binary strands are shown. The rst approach shows how DNA binary strands can be used for steganography to provide rapid encryption and decryption. It is shown that DNA steganogra- phy based on DNA binary strands is secure under the assumption [...]

Bioinformatics Techniques for spam detection

Its not a new topic IBM has discovered that it could use many of the pattern detection techniques and analysis used in bioinformatics in other fields as well. I thought of adding this as bioinformatics is and microarrays are growing in popularity and decided to give few bytes such articles as wel. Many of these [...]

A little bit of fun- I did a PhD and did NOT go mad by Richard Butterworth from university of Middlesex.

I did a PhD and did NOT go mad Before reading these wise words advising you how to do a PhD (inspired by three years of the author carefully and diligently banging his head on a table) you are requested to read and digest the following irony… To say that I enjoyed doing my PhD [...]
