Profiling of Antimicrobial Resistance Genes and Integron from Isolates Using Whole Genome Sequencing.

This study is designed to investigate for the antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and integrons from healthy as well as diarrhoeic/diseased animals/birds' faecal samples. A total of eight samples were selected for the study; from each animal, two samples were taken, one from healthy animals/birds and one from diarrhoeic/diseased animals/birds. Antibiotic sensitivity testing (AST) and whole genome sequencing (WGS) was performed for selected isolates.

Understanding of molecular basis of histological graded horn cancer by transcriptome profiling.

Horn cancer is most devastating and prominent cancer in Indian zebu cattle that affects socio-economic condition of small-scale farmers who depends on their cattle for farm work. Development in the field for genomics through next generation sequencing and bioinformatics advancement have helped to identify genes which have a role in horn cancer development. Histopathological examination of cancerous tissues of horn revealed myxomatous changes, well, moderate and poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma.
