Hi. I'm a final year B.E. Electronics student from Mumbai Univ. I know it's very late, but I'm interested in Biotechnology, Molecular Biology, Microbiology, etc.
Is there any way I can change my field after my B.E.? Perhaps a correspondence course in Biology or Biotechnology will help me get admission for my Master's degree?
I'm trying hard to find a way to change my field. I dispise Electronics Engineering.
Waiting for a reply. Thank-you!

Is every mRNA that codes for a single protein called as monocistronic? Is there any post-transcriptional mechanism involved in the production of monocistronic mRNA?

My question is...Are we able to detect the very first base from the 5' end of the DNA fragment to be sequenced by MAXAM-GILBERT sequencing method??
If we, please help me with the answer.....
THANKS.....

This one is a dedicated thread for "Discussions pertaining to project ideas for Food Biotechnology":
I will start with an idea for a Food Biotechnology project:
How about "Extraction of Carotenoids (for natural colors) from fungi isolated from various/ or a particular food source"
This doesn't require complicated equipments, and there is ample literature on this subject. We have an expert (with > 5 years experience in this field) to guide you whenever u need some help in an unsolvable aspect during the project!
Best wishes
P.S : Those of you who have an idea or have worked on some project in food biotech, please help the community and share your ideas.

Have you ever wondered as to why does 3'-5' strand acts as the template and not 5'-3' strand?
Looking forward to your answers. I am actually looking forward to the best answer (one which is amazingly explained, so that anyone can understand the reason without much a do).
P.S. I'm thinking of awarding the author of best answer (in my own personal judgement) with a little award (A book titled "Science Lessons: What the business of biotech taught me about management", by Gordon Binder (former CEO of Amgen Inc)...this book is amongst Top 10 best books to read in Biotechnology field...so I hope who so ever wins, will love this little present from me...I am doing this personal contest sort of activity first time ever on this forum, if it turns out nice, will post more of these mini contests in future (as and when my wallet has some extra bucks to go for these activities
).

Hello... By this may I will complete my Bsc Biotech.
But I'm very confused about my Masters... Should I pursue my masters in biotech or in other courses like human genetics, bioinformatics or any else? And if i choose human gentics then what will be the subject for research in phd???
Pls clear my this doubt.
Thank you

In its directions to AICTE on Feb 10, 2017, the ministry of Human Resource Development (HRD) has set stage for a "single" national-level Engineering and Architecture entrance test. In nutshell, single exam for every college and every field of Engineering & Architecture for "undergraduate courses". This single exam is expected to be effective from 2018 onwards.
In line with the international tests like SAT/GRE, the test shall be conducted multiple times a year (frequency yet to be decided) and it intends to bring uniformity in academic standards.
Respecting the lingual diversity of India, the test will be conducted in atleast 10 languages.
Worth noting is that IITs will continue to hold their independent entrance exam owing to their standardised process of screening and admission.
In the current state of art, most states conduct their own engineering examination and in many cases, no test is conducted and admissions are done purely on the basis of Class XII marks, while engineering colleges in some (five) states accept JEE (mains) score for admission.
As per MHRD, there are more than 3,200 engineering colleges across 27 states in India, majority being in 5 states namely Tamil Nadu (>500), Maharashtra (>350), Andhra Pradesh (>300), Uttar Pradesh (~300) and Madhya Pradesh (~200). A single test will indeed bring huge uniformity in admission standards.
MHRD has requested all state governments/deemed universities "to communicate their constructive suggestions for smooth implementation of the regulation. It may also be useful to request as many institutions as possible to come under a joint seat-allocation system for a more efficient seat allocation process".
It's definitely a great move which will help students to assess their eligibility across the country in a uniform and easy way. Looking forward to this great change.
What's your thought?

This article aims at shedding light on "Various Colors of Biotechnology". Red, White, Grey, Green and Blue are the 5 major colors of Biotechnology and following is the detailed article on each color of Biotechnology.
Red biotechnology pertains to applications/technology connected to medicine.
Red biotechnology includes vaccine & antibiotic production, development of new drugs, regenerative therapies, molecular diagnostics techniques and utilization of gene manipulation technologies to cure diseases.
Examples being:
Cell therapy, Regenerative Medicine, Therapeutic antibodies, Gene Therapy etc.
White biotechnology pertains to applications/ technology connected to industrial processes - also called ‘industrial biotechnology’. White biotechnology aims at developing resource efficient processes and products, so as to result in 'less energy consumption' and 'low pollution generation'.
Examples being:
Use of microbes in chemical production, biodegradable plastic production, biofuel production etc.
Grey biotechnology pertains to applications/ technologies connected to the environment.
Grey biotechnology processes can be split up into two main branches:
1. Biodiversity maintenance
2. Contaminants removal.
Quote:Biodiversity maintenance is achieved througha. Studying the molecular biology and performing genetic analysis of populations/ species which constitute the ecosystem(s)b. Comparison and classification of the speciesc. Use of cloning techniques to preserve species, and application of genome storage technologies.
Quote:Pollutants removal or bioremediation in Grey Biotechnologya. Uses microorganisms and plants to isolate and dispose of different substances such as heavy metals and hydrocarbonsb. Makes use of these substances or by-products generated from the above step.
Green biotechnology as the name suggests, is connected to agriculture.
Green biotechnology approaches include:
1. Creation of new varieties of plants (of agricultural interest).
2. Production of biofertilizers, biopesticides (like Azadirachtin from A.indica)
3. Use of in vitro technology for plant cultivation
4. Cloning of plants
Blue biotechnology again as the name suggests, is connected to marine life / sea resources.
Blue biotechnology aims at developing products and applications of industrial interest using marine resources. Considering the fact that seas/oceans present a greatest pool of biodiversity, the potential to benefit from the use of this kind of biotechnology is huge for almost every sector.
Following is a summary of these and some other colors of Biotechnology:
