(Brac University, 2020-03)Yeast strains have significant characteristics based on their nature and abilities to produce food products, medicines, protein supplements, etc. Candida zeyalanoides is the yeast strain that had been speculated in this ... -
Analysis and comparison between the Genome of CRISPR bacteriophages
(Brac University, 2019-12)Viruses that infect bacteria are called bacteriophages or shortened as phages. Like all viruses, Phages are absolute parasites, although carry all the information to direct their reproduction in an appropriate host, they ... -
Screening of opportunistic microbes from the infected sites of oral cancer patients and a study of their antibiotic resistance pattern
(Brac University, 2020-09-03)Cancer is one of the most lethal diseases in the world. It can be defined as the uncontrolled growth of cells that can spread throughout the body. Oral cancer is one of the most common cancers in South-Asian countries. ... -
An in silico approach for the identification of clinically significant SNPs in a Drug Metabolizing Gene CYP2C9 and development of Tetra-primer ARMS PCR based genotyping method for CYP2C9*3 (rs1057910)
(Brac University, 2020-08)The role of SNP is an important factor related to drug metabolism. The presence or absence of SNP can significantly alter the effect of the same amount of drug inside the body leading to various unwanted side-effects which ... -
The SNP CYP2C19*2 (rs4244285) genotyping using tetra primer arms PCR method
(Brac University, 2020-08)Drugs are used to treat and cure disease. But the same drug with the same dose might not be useful for other individuals. Through Pharmacogenetics study, how people respond differently to drug therapy based upon their ... -
