Introduction Basic molecular genetics research has created brand-new possibilities for illness diagnosis. The potential to translate research results into practical applications in industry is enormous. A branch of biology that studies how variety in animals arises from variations in the structures or expression of DNA molecules is called Molecular Genetics. Genetic screens are frequently used in molecular genetics to "investigate" the structure and/or function of the genes in an organism's genome. Cellular biology, molecular biology, biochemistry, and biotechnology, as well as traditional Mendelian inheritance, provide the foundation of the field of study. To connect a gene sequence to a ...

Tissue Culture Tissue fragments from animals or plants are transplanted to an artificial environment where they can continue to thrive and function as part of the biological research technique known as tissue culture. One cell, a group of cells, an entire organ, or a portion of an organ may make up the cultured tissue. In culture, cells can divide, alter their shape, size, or function, engage in specialised activity or collaborate with other cells. Introduction to Culture Media Biological culture media, such as blood serum or tissue extract, chemically defined synthetic media, or a combination of the two may ... Read More
Introduction Environmental biotechnology is biotechnology that is used to understand the environment and is applied to it. Environmental biotechnology may also suggest that one tries to control biological processes for profit. Environmental biotechnology is described as "the development, use, and regulation of biological systems for remediation of contaminated environments (land, air, and water), and for environment-friendly processes (green manufacturing technologies and sustainable development)" by the International Society for Environmental Biotechnology. Definition The simplest definition of environmental biotechnology is "the best use of nature, in the form of plants, animals, bacteria, fungi, and algae, to produce renewable energy, food, and nutrients ...

Introduction A growth medium, commonly known as a culture medium, is a solid, liquid, or semi-solid that is intended to foster the growth of a population of microorganisms, cells, or miniature plants, such as the moss Physcomitrella patens, through the process of cell proliferation. Various cell types are grown in various types of medium. Growth Media The two primary categories of growth media are those used in cell culture, which employ certain cell types obtained from plants or animals, and those used in microbiological culture, which are used to grow microorganisms like bacteria or fungi. Nutrient broths and ... Read More
Introduction Only with development of the compound microscope during 17th-century in Europe, cells were first observed. After gazing at a piece of cork and noticing a cell-like structure, Robert Hooke coined the term "cells" (published in Micrographia) in 1665. Nevertheless, the cells were dead and gave no hint to the true overall components of a cell. Just few years later, in 1674, during his investigation of algae, Anton Van Leeuwenhoek became the first to examine live cells. All of this came before the cell theory, which argues that cells are the basic building blocks of life and that they make ... Read More
Introduction Servers play a vital role in smooth functioning of any organization's IT infrastructure. They are responsible for hosting critical applications, databases, and other services. Hence, it is essential to ensure that servers are configured optimally for maximum performance and reliability. However, performance tuning can be a time-consuming and complex task that requires a high level of expertise. In this article, we will discuss automatic performance tuning of CentOS/RHEL servers. What is Performance Tuning? Performance tuning is process of optimizing performance of a system by adjusting various parameters and settings. In context of server performance tuning, it involves tweaking settings ... Read More
In world of IT, efficiency is key. Whether it's managing a data center, deploying a new software update, or configuring new hardware, streamlining processes can make all difference. One of most important areas where this is true is in installation and configuration of operating systems. And when it comes to deploying multiple instances of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), there's no better solution than automated installations using PXE server and Kickstart files. What is PXE Server? PXE (Preboot Execution Environment) is a network protocol that allows a computer to boot from a server on network. Essentially, it means that you ... Read More
Introduction Apache Spark is a widely used distributed computing framework for big data processing. It provides a flexible and scalable solution for processing large amounts of data in a timely manner. However, deploying and managing a Spark cluster can be a challenging task, especially for those who are new to field of big data. In recent years, Bare Metal Cloud (BMC) providers have emerged as a promising solution for running distributed systems. BMCs provide benefits of cloud computing, such as flexible resource allocation, while also providing performance benefits of dedicated hardware. In this article, we will discuss how to automate ...

Introduction Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 (RHEL 7) is a popular operating system used in many enterprise environments. As a system administrator, automating installation process of RHEL 7 can be very beneficial. Automating installation process saves time and reduces risk of human error. Kickstart is a tool that can be used to automate installation process of RHEL 7. In this article, we will look at how to use Kickstart to automate RHEL 7 installations. What is Kickstart? Kickstart is a tool used to automate installation process of RHEL 7. With Kickstart, you can create a script that contains all configuration ... Read More
As a Linux user, you probably find yourself navigating through your file system on a regular basis. Whether you're moving between directories to run commands or searching for specific files, you may have found that using "cd" command can become cumbersome and time-consuming, especially if you have to navigate through multiple directories. Fortunately, there's a solution: Autojump. What is Autojump? Autojump is a tool that allows you to quickly and easily navigate through your file system by learning your most frequently used directories. It's an alternative to standard "cd" command, and it's especially useful for users who work with a ... Read More
