35 Crucial Genes Related To Chronic Kidney Disease Identified Written on 11/27/2018 35 Crucial Genes Related To Chronic Kidney Disease Identified Knowing the makeup of chronic diseases is a substantial step toward creating diagnostics and treatment choices that are improved. The discovery is a significant advance in the understanding.35 kidney genes’ identification is an important step into the development of treatments and diagnostic tests . As per Senior Research Investigator Maciej Tomaszewski , Ph.D., professor in the University of Manchester, Chronic Kidney Disease is known for its complex genetic component and the limited knowledge about its mechanics on gene level partially explains why there is no proper advancement in the developmental process of new diagnostic tests and treatments. In the present study, the researchers analyzed 9958 gene expression profiles and 280 kidney transcriptomes which were obtained from 44 cells. From this, the group managed to disco

World’s Largest Gene Sequencing Project Completed By UK Researchers Written on 12/11/2018 World’s Largest Gene Sequencing Project Completed By UK Researchers In a remarkable achievement, Genomics England Researchers in partnership with NHS England have successfully completed  sequencing 100,000 Human Genomes . This is the World’s Largest Gene Sequencing Project in healthcare ever executed and has open new doors for a better understanding of rare & genetic diseases for which we do not have a cure yet. Earlier in 2012, Ex-Prime Minister David Cameron announced the launch of the 100,000 Photo Courtesy: Genomics England – NHS Genomes Project, with a target to make the UK, world leader in research in 5 years of time from then. On Wednesday the project was announced to have been successfully completed and are aiming for more million to go. In this historic project that nobody had ever tried before, witnessed the participation of numerous families & patients with ra

Nationwide Protests For Hike in Fellowship By Research Scholars Written on 11/08/2018 Shekhar Nationwide Protests For Hike in Fellowship By Research Scholars IISER Pune & National Chemical Laboratory NCL Pune Research scholars have joined forces with other scholars from leading institutes demanding a hike in fellowship. Lately Research Scholar community has been uniting on a large scale agitating against the Government in demand of a hike in the monthly fellowship. Recently, In Delhi, a large fleet of almost 1000 PhD scholars demonstrated together fighting for their rights to a hike in pay. After a series of such events, silent strikes and demonstrations by the PhD scholars the Government has finally chosen to speak up. In response to a petition letter sent to the department of science & Technology (DST), Govt of India on 30th October 2018, Krishnaswamy VijayRaghavan, principal scientific advisor announced via a tweet that the demands and concerns of th
