Many of India’s aquatic ecosystems have invasive fish species introduced for various purposes in the past. These invasive fish species compound the challenges faced by declining aquatic biodiversity, posing threats to the ecological balance and the livelihoods of communities dependent on these ecosystems. Addressing this issue requires coordinated collective action, encompassing robust policies, extensive research,… भारत को आक्रामक मछलियों के ख़िलाफ़ अपनी लड़ाई तेज़ करने की ज़रूरत है पढ़ना जारी रखें

Tuberculosis (TB) has been a long-standing problem in India. To effectively treat TB, it is imperative to find newer targets, which are important for in-vivo bacterial survival and persistence. Hyderabad-based Centre for Cellular & Molecular Biology (CCMB), led by its director Dr Vinay Kumar Nandicoori, is working on finding new TB targets. In an interaction… “Genomics holds immense potential in future outbreaks by identifying the genetic basis of infectious agents and chronic diseases” पढ़ना जारी रखें

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval in December 2023, of two milestone treatments, Casgevy and Lyfgenia, representing the first cell-based gene therapies for the treatment of a rare disease called sickle cell disease (SCD) in patients 12 years and older, is a huge development. With rare diseases posing significant challenges due to the… दुर्लभ बीमारियों पर दोबारा ध्यान केंद्रित पढ़ना जारी रखें

Ladakh is a high-altitude region, characterised by an alternating valley-range configuration with complex terrain and micro-climates operating over the terrain-facets and snowfall. The altitude varies from about 3000 metres in Kargil to more than 8000 metres in Karakoram. It lies at a strategic location between the Indus River valley and the Hindukhush Mountains, which makes… सीसीएमबी के वैज्ञानिकों ने लद्दाख के लोगों की उत्पत्ति का पता लगाया पढ़ना जारी रखें

Invasive species are also responsible for incurring huge economic losses every year for the country, said invasion biologist Gopi Krishnan from Dr. G. Umapathy’s lab in an official online post Flushing pet fish or turtle down the toilet or releasing them in a pond, letting a pet bird fly away, abandoning a pet dog or… Don’t flush that pet fish or turtle down the toilet: CCMB scientist पढ़ना जारी रखें

Study revealed that the Nair and Thiyya communities share most of their ancestry from ancient migrants of North-west India The traditional warrior class and feudal lords of Nairs, Thiyyas and Ezhavas from Kerala, and Bunts and Hoysalas from Karnataka have been found to be genetically closer to populations of North-west India putting at rest their… दक्षिण-पश्चिमी तट के वॉरीयर वर्ग की आनुवंशिक वंशावली का पता लगाया पढ़ना जारी रखें

The Hangul deer (hangul Cervus hanglu hanglu) is categorised as ‘Critically Endangered’ on the IUCN Red List and as a Schedule 1 species in the Indian Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972. For the first time in India, geneticists from the Hyderabad-based Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB) have utilised genetic data to estimate the population… CCMB researchers estimate critically endangered ?Hangul deer? population using genetic data पढ़ना जारी रखें

Hundreds of thousands of stretches of DNA have remained unchanged in humans and other primates for over 65 million years but not other mammals, genetic scientists have found1. These evolutionary records could play an important role in improving human health. Constrained genes are parts of the genome that don’t encode proteins. They carry most of… अद्वितीय अपरिवर्तित डीएनए खंड मनुष्यों और अन्य प्राइमेट को परिभाषित करते हैं पढ़ना जारी रखें
