Introduction Bioadsorption is the process of removal of pollutants or toxins from a liquid or gaseous medium using biological materials. It is an effective, economical, and eco-friendly alternative to conventional methods of adsorption. Bioadsorption has been widely studied for its potential applications in wastewater treatment, removal of heavy metals, and ... Read More

Introduction Transgenic plant breeding is a technique that can be used to develop such crop varieties. With the increase in population and decreasing arable land, there is an urgent need to develop new and improved crop varieties that are more productive and resilient to environmental stresses. In this tutorial, we ... Read More

MAS - An Overall Understanding Marker-assisted selection (MAS) is a molecular breeding technique that enables breeders to make informed decisions about which individuals to select for future generations. The approach involves using molecular markers, such as DNA sequence variations or protein polymorphisms, to identify traits that are associated with desirable ... Read More

An Insight Introgression is the transfer of genetic material from one species or population to another through repeated hybridization and backcrossing. This process can occur naturally or as a result of human intervention, and it can have both positive and negative effects on the recipient population. This article summarizes the ... Read More

Introduction Genotyping refers to the process of identifying an individual’s genetic variations. These genetic variations can have a significant impact on an individual's susceptibility to diseases, their response to drugs, and other traits. Genotyping has become an essential tool in many fields, including medicine, forensics, and agriculture. High-throughput genotyping techniques ... Read More

Introduction Genetic mapping is the process of identifying and locating the specific regions on the genome that are associated with a particular trait or disease. The process involves analyzing the genetic variation in individuals to determine the location of genes or QTLs (quantitative trait loci) that are responsible for the ... Read More

Introduction Genetic linkage maps are graphical representations of genetic markers in a genome that are used to study the linkage and association between genes. These maps have been used to study the inheritance patterns of traits in various species, from plants to animals to humans. The construction of a genetic ... Read More

An Overview Microsatellites or Simple Sequence Repeats (SSRs) are small tandemly repeated DNA sequences present in the genome of almost all eukaryotic organisms. These repetitive DNA sequences are short, usually consisting of 1-6 base pairs in length, and are highly variable in number and length among individuals within a species. ... Read More

Introduction Plant breeding is an essential process to improve crop yields, quality, and resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. The use of molecular markers has revolutionized plant breeding and allowed breeders to identify and select desirable traits more efficiently and precisely. Molecular markers are used to identify and track ... Read More

An Insight Single-nucleotide polymorphisms, or SNPs, are one of the most common types of genetic variation found in humans and other organisms. These variations involve changes in a single nucleotide base pair at a specific position in the DNA sequence. They have a significant impact on gene functioning, influencing everything ... Read More
