Article Synopsis
  • - Conventional breeding has improved crop yields since the mid-1900s, but genomics introduces advanced tools for studying whole genomes, enhancing the accuracy of crop development.
  • - Techniques like molecular markers, genomic selection, and genome editing (e.g., CRISPR/Cas9) allow for precise trait mapping and faster breeding, improving characteristics like yield, resistance to disease, and stress tolerance.
  • - The paper discusses how genomic resources aid in plant breeding by identifying important traits, understanding genetic diversity, and speeding up breeding programs, ultimately leading to the creation of new plant varieties.

The present study was conducted from April 2016 to March 2017 in a freshwater-dominated coastal wetland of the Indian Sundarban ecoregion to illustrate the fish diversity, and abundance and the predictor variables determining fish assemblage structure in the wetland. A total of 27 fish species belonging to 13 orders, 16 families, and 23 genera with Cyprinidae (18.5%) as the most dominant family were recorded from the wetland.

One of the five high-level goals under Phase V of the National AIDS and STD Control Programme (NACP) of the Government of India is the elimination of vertical transmission of HIV. In this paper, we estimate the potential impact of maintaining and enhancing the anti-retroviral treatment under the NACP in terms of averting new infections and vertical transmission rates vis-à-vis no intervention scenario. We used India's HIV Estimates 2022 models to create treatment coverage scenarios of no interventions, status quo, business as usual, on-track and fast-track scenarios from 2023 to 2030.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks as the third leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. The current standard of care includes systemic chemotherapy with cytotoxic agents, offering palliative relief for severe CRC cases and serving as the primary therapy for metastatic recurrence. However, the development of chemoresistance poses a substantial obstacle in the realm of chemotherapy.
