Introduction The plant kingdom is a treasure trove of bioactive compounds, many of which have been harnessed for their medicinal, nutritional, and other valuable properties. Phytochemical test, also known as phytotest, are laboratory methods used to detect and identify these plant-derived chemicals. This article will delve into the importance of phytochemical screening, the various tests … Read more
The success of SMRTbell library sequencing relies on the quality of the starting material. Factors such as DNA damage, carry-over contaminants, and improper handling can significantly impact sequencing performance, leading to lower yields, shorter read lengths, and compromised data quality. This article provides a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of troubleshooting strategies to address the quality of starting … Read more
Overview Copy number variation (CNV) is a genomic alteration phenomenon that can lead to copy number abnormalities in one or more genes involved in the process of evolutionary adaptation, genomic disease, and disease progression. Structural genomic rearrangements (e.g., duplications, deletions, translocations, and inversions) may result in CNVs. detection of CNVs is challenging due to their … Read more
Metabolic diseases, such as diabetes, obesity, and related disorders, pose a significant and escalating burden on global health. These conditions are characterized by disruptions in the body’s ability to regulate various metabolic processes, including energy production, glucose and lipid metabolism, and hormone signaling. The prevalence of metabolic diseases has surged in recent decades, driven by … Read more
