Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Swaraj Basu"
- Swaraj Basu's recent research highlights the role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and retrotransposons in complex nervous systems, particularly in octopuses, which may provide insights into cognitive evolution.
- His work in Drosophila has identified key transcription factors involved in visceral muscle development and the molecular mechanisms underlying receptor tyrosine kinase signaling.
- Basu has also contributed to mitochondrial genetics, developing methods for accurately detecting mtDNA deletions and characterizing pathogenic mutations that relate to age-related diseases, furthering our understanding of mitochondrial dysfunction in various conditions.
