NCBI stands for the National center for biotechnology information which is a composite database. We already have discussed the databases (Read here). The URL for NCBI is https://ncbi.nlm.nih.gov NCBI is an important database for biotechnology students and researchers. There are various tools available for the analysis of data. NCBI is inside connected with other databases […]
Importance of Bioinformatics
Bioinformatics is the branch of science in which we use computer tools and algorithms to analyze biological data. Bioinformatics has its importance in the management and collection of biological data. Bioinformatics is an integrated interdisciplinary field it includes various subjects such as math, chemistry, genomics, proteomics, etc. Bioinformatics includes research applications in genomics data and […]
Python – Set
Set in Python is an unordered and non-indexed collection of elements that are non-duplicate. It is a Mutable data-type. Creating a Set: a) Using a { }: Set can be created using curly brackets, serparated by comma. Output: {‘d’, ‘b’, ‘c’, ‘e’, ‘a’} b) Using a set() function: Set can be created using set() built-in […]
Antibodies and Antigen
In this article, we are going to learn about the basic introduction of antibodies and antigen. We’ll read in detail about their types and other functions in the next articles. what are antibodies? Antibodies are proteins that are produced by our immune system against foreign substances (such as bacteria or viruses) known as an antigen. […]
Evolution of Life Forms- A theory
Evolution theory: Evolution theory based on the observation made during the sea voyage by Charles Darwin in sail ship H.M.S Beagle around the world. He was appointed as a naturalist for this voyage to study the vast flora and fauna of the different continents and islands. He said that every living organism, whether animal or […]
Python – Dictionary
In Python, Dictionary is an unordered, indexed collection of data values used to store data in the form of keys and values. Keys must be unique whereas values can be repeated. Only immutable data types like string, tuple, int, etc. can be used as keys. Creating a Dictionary: a) Using a { }: Dictionary can […]
Polymerase Chain Reaction
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 […]
