Polymerase chain reaction or PCR is developed by Karry Mullis in 1984. This is a method for the amplification of DNA. PCR is based on the capability of DNA polymerase that can synthesize a new strand of DNA that is complementary to the other strand. It is because DNA polymerase can only add nucleotide onto […]
NON-STANDARD AMINO ACIDS
In the previous article on the amino acid, we have studied what is an amino acid and its classification based on polarity. We have also studied what is a peptide bond? How a peptide bond is formed? We know that there are twenty amino acids that help in protein formation and the first discovered amino […]
How to find out the complementary strand of DNA using Python
What is a complementary strand? DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is made up of pentose Sugar, nitrogenous bases, and phosphate. DNA has a backbone of sugar and phosphate. As we all know DNA is a double helical structure (Watson & crick model) and both the strand of DNA are complementary of each other. So, what does it […]
Python – Tuples
This article covers about tuples in python. Tuples can be a collection of homogeneous or heterogeneous items. It can be seen as similar to list but the major difference is that list is mutable unlike tuple which is immutable and list uses square brackets but in tuple we use parentheses. Creating a Tuple: a) Empty […]
EFFECT OF SARS-COV2 ON MALE FERTILITY
CORONAVIRUS: Coronavirus i.e. SARS CoV2 has the origin from china as China reported its first case on 31st December coronavirus causes infection in the lungs causes pneumonia, through this the oxygen supply to the tissues and organs decreases as the lungs get filled with the fluid the alveoli functioning gets disturbed and the gaseous exchange […]
Introduction to molecular diagnostics
Diagnostics: Diagnostics of a disease is a critical and integral part of our health care system. Diagnostics is testing, and these tests inform us about a wide range of medical decisions to be taken according to the disease. Diagnostics tests provide critical insights at every stage of medical care prevention, detection, diagnostics therapy, and successful […]
Python – frozenset() function
In this article, we will be discussing frozenset() which is an inbuilt function provided by Python language. frozenset() function: The task of this function is to freeze the iterable objects provided and make them unchangeable So that, no changes take place. Also, frozenset() is somehow similar to set(). However, it differs only in making the […]
Python – Number Guessing Game
In this post, we will see how to make a number guessing game in python. So, let’s talk about the game, the user guesses a number in the fixed range then the program tells it is a correct guess or not. If not then the user can guess again. Now, we have to do the […]
Fasta format and Sequence comparison
What is fasta sequence? Fasta is a format used to represent nucleotide sequences or protein/peptide sequences. In the fasta format, the sequences are represented with their single letter code. E.g., for nucleotides A, T, G, C, U For proteins: A, M, D, etc. The fasta sequence of any nucleotide or peptide begins with a single […]
THEORIES OF ‘THE ORIGIN OF LIFE’
Theory of special creation- This states that life was created by supernatural power in the form which has not undergone any changes. It was given by FATHER SUAREZ. God created life in six days from Materia prima and man was created on the sixth day. According to this theory, the earth is about 4000 years […]
