The availability of completely sequenced genomes for a number of organisms provides an opportunity to understand the molecular basis of physiology, metabolism, regulation and evolution of these organisms. Significant ...

Chapter–I Introduction Shock waves appear in nature whenever the different elements in a fluid approach one another with a velocity larger than the local speed of sound. Shock waves are essentially non-linear waves that ...

Among the various external signals perceived by yeast cells, nutrient availability is a condition to which these cells show a highly diverse biological response. Diploid cells in response to different nutritional stress ...

TOOTH/MIR160A regulates leaf margin outgrowth in Arabidopsis thaliana Unlike animals, a striking aspect of the plant development is that they have evolved a flexible pattern of post embryonic development. This exposes ...

Foodborne diseases are one among the diseases with high morbidity and mortality rate. The concern is raised with the emergence of pathogenic strains that are resistant to the available set of antibiotics. Conventional ...

Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the principal causative agent of tuberculosis (TB) in humans, is considered to be a successful pathogen owing to the elicitation of multidrug resistance, ability to survive inside macrophage ...

Rinderpest virus is an enveloped Nonsegmented Negative Stranded RNA Virus (NNSV) belonging to the genus Morbillivirus in the Family Paramyxoviridae and the causative organism for “cattle plague”. The virion has a transport ...

The presence of introns in all the eukaryotic genomes identified so far underscores the fundamental and ubiquitous role of pre-mRNA splicing. The spliceosomal machinery, comprised of five small nuclear RNAs and several ...

Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of pulmonary tuberculosis, infects one-third of the world’s human population. Despite the multiplicity of antimicrobial mechanisms mounted by its host, M. tuberculosis shows ...
