Glaucoma is a common disease often identified by high intraocular pressure, characteristic optic neuropathy and vision loss. It is currently a leading cause of blindness worldwide with no known cure. Primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) is the most common type of glaucoma worldwide. It is a multifactorial disease where both genetic as well as environmental factors are involved in the pathogenesis.Till...
Based on copy number alterations and transcriptional profiles, the posterior fossa tumors (medulloblastoma (MB), ependymoma and pilocytic astrocytoma) have been classified into various subgroups. The study design was aimed to identify and catalog genome-wide copy number alterations and differential gene expression in different types of North-Indian pediatric posterior fossa tumors and matched control...
This paper presents the first study describing the isolation, cloning and characterization of a full length gene encoding Bowman–Birk protease inhibitor (RbTI) from rice bean (Vigna umbellata). A full-length protease inhibitor gene with complete open reading frame of 327bp encoding 109 amino acids was cloned from rice bean seeds using degenerate primer set. BlastP search revealed that the RbTI encoded...
Investigation of the transgenic Arabidopsis promoter trap line GFP-868 that showed GFP expression only in anthers revealed the T-DNA insertion at 461bp upstream to the hypothetical gene At4g10596 with the GFP reporter gene in head-to-head orientation to the At4g10596 gene. The expression of the At4g10596 gene in wild type and in GFP-868 plant homozygous for T-DNA insertion was comparable and found...
In the present study, the diversity of rumen methanogens in crossbred Karan Fries cattle was determined by constructing 16S rRNA and mcrA (methyl coenzyme-M reductase α subunit) gene libraries using specific primers. All thirteen OTUs or phylotypes from 16S rRNA library clustered with order Methanobacteriales, twelve of which aligned with Methanobrevibacter spp., whereas one OTU resemble with Methanosphaera...
Chlorophytum borivilianum is one of the important medicinal plants used for treating different health problems such as diabetes, arthritis, physical weakness, etc. Saponins present in C. borivilianum are the primary source of its significant medicinal properties and are synthesized by mevalonate and non-mevalonate pathways in plants. However, the biosynthesis of these compounds at molecular level...
India is a diverse land whose population holds the history of waves of human dispersal. Recent studies suggest two major ancestral contributions to most of the Indian sub-populations. However, present day Indians are thought to contain huge genetic diversity derived consequent to multiple cultural, linguistic and geographical variations. Genome-wide survey of individuals from current North (N-In)...
The molecular diversity of rumen methanogens was investigated by 16S rDNA gene library prepared from the rumen contents obtained from Murrah buffaloes in India. Genomic DNA was isolated from adult male fistulated buffaloes and PCR conditions were set up using specific primers. Amplified product was cloned into a suitable vector, and the positive clones were selected assuming based on blue–white screening...
