Biotechnology is an interdisciplinary science which equally deals with life sciences, computer sciences and mathematics. Biotechnologists are known to do amazing things by modifying the code which is constituting our life. People always rush to ask biotechnologists some really amazing question which is quite weird, funny and amazing. Here are the top 5 such common question … [Read more...]
Nanobionics and Bioinspired Nanotechnology
Bionics is the study and design of engineering system including electronic ones and these systems are based on the biological system. Bionics is also termed as biomimicry and it is similar to biologically inspired design. The word bionic was coined by Jack E. Steele in 1958. Nanobionics is the nanoscale electronic interactions in biological systems. Bioinspired nanotechnology … [Read more...]

Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (a.k.a qPCR) is the way of detecting the amount of product obtained in the Polymerase Chain Reaction. Detecting the presence and measuring the amount of mRNA transcript in a particular part of an organism at a particular time is one of its best applications known as expression profiling of genes. … [Read more...]
Different Genetic Markers used in Forensic Sciences
The knowledge of DNA has equipped the forensic or crime scene science with more precise and accurate techniques to find out the criminal among the suspects using the crime scene evidence. Molecular forensics revolutionised when an English scientist found a new type of genetic markers in the human genome. These are the 10-100 bp long sequences that are repeated. The sequence is … [Read more...]
Engineering Plant to Meet Global Food and Bioenergy Demand
The increasing burden of global food and bioenergy demand on shrinking agricultural lands requires attention. Famines and energy shortfall is inevitable due to the population growth. Bioeconomy also requires more lands and agricultural productivity. … [Read more...]
