Understanding The Chemical Composition Of Chromosomes
The X and Y structures in the school textbooks are what make us remember the chromosome structures in the mind. Chromosomes are the genetic carriers of information. They are important for the growth, development and functioning…
The chain termination method, also called Sanger sequencing, is a method of DNA sequencing. This technique determines the nucleotide sequence of DNA. This concept was introduced by Frederick Sanger in 1977. The technique has been fundamental in genetics and molecular biology.

A cell is a fundamental unit of life. The cell is necessary for majorly three major reasons in an individual and they are as follows-
Growth
Development
Reproduction
This complex process involves various cellular components working in harmony to ensure…
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a condition that is commonly referred to simply as autism. This condition is a complex neurodevelopmental issue that is characterized by challenges with social communication and interaction, alongside restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, or activities. …
The Centre for DNA Fingerprinting and Diagnostics (CDFD) is an Indian biotechnology research centre, based in Hyderabad, India. It is an autonomous organization funded by the Department of Biotechnology (DBT), Ministry of Science and Technology, Government of India.
This research center was…
DNA tests have become increasingly important for establishing some biological relationships. This is one of the most common types of DNA test is the paternity DNA test. The test is known to help determine if a man is the biological father of…
Chromosomes as we know are the carriers of our genetic information. It plays a crucial role in the reproduction and functioning of the cell. When we know the structure and functioning of the chromosomes, we can easily understand genetics and molecular biology. …
The best stage to study the morphology of chromosomes is metaphase, generally characterized by the stage of cell division. During this stage, the chromosomes are visible clearly and each chromosome contains two chromatids.
Metaphase provides a clear view and visibility of the…
We need to learn the shape of chromosomes to know the field of biological and medical research. Chromosomes carry our DNA material and their shape and structure; this provides insights into various cellular processes and other genetic disorders. But there are some…
Bacterial Artificial Chromosomes (BACs) are DNA constructs, based on a functional fertility plasmid (F-plasmid). They facilitate the transforming and cloning of DNA fragments in bacterial cells, specifically E. coli.
BACs are commonly used in various fields, including genetics, gene cloning, genomic research,…
