Antisense oligonucleotides are short DNA or RNA fragments that bind to target mRNA to disrupt gene expression or function. They have applications in drug discovery and development, functional genomics, and agriculture and biotechnology. Antisense oligos help modulate gene expression by interacting with target RNA through Watson-Crick base pairing.

Antisense oligonucleotides are short synthetic strands of nucleic acid chemicals that bind to target messenger RNA (mRNA) in a sequence-specific manner in order to control gene expression by inhibiting translation or causing degradation of that mRNA. Antisense oligonucleotides are used to treat a variety of rare genetic diseases and have advantage

Microbiology Clinical microbiology is the study of microorganisms that cause disease, known as pathogens. Microorganisms, or microbes, are tiny living things that can only be seen with a microscope. They include bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa, and helminths. Understanding microbiology is crucial for diagnosing and treating infections. It als

New Identification Techniques Revolutionizing Disease Diagnosis Traditional methods for identifying pathogens have long relied on culturing microbes from patient samples and analyzing their characteristics under a microscope. However, this process can often take several days to get results. Recent advances in sequencing technology and bioinforma

Livestock identification systems enable farmers and veterinary officials to efficiently trace animals throughout their lifecycles. With accurate records, they can pinpoint the origin and movement of animals to curb the spread of diseases. Various identification methods are used globally depending on the type of animals and management practices.
