The main purpose of these slides is to convey information to the Professors, Lecturers, and Students. These slides contain authentic information about this topic which is mentioned in that.
Effective disruption of the biological matrix (cell, tissue, environmental or biological sample) to release the nucleic acids. Denaturation of structural proteins associated with the nucleic acids (nucleoproteins) Inactivation of nucleases that will degrade the isolated product (RNase and/or DNase).
Once the genomic DNA is bound to the silica membrane, the nucleic acid is washed with a salt/ethanol solution. These washes remove contaminating proteins, lipopolysaccharides and small RNAs to increase purity while keeping the DNA bound to the silica membrane column.
There are five basic steps of DNA extraction that are consistent across all the possible DNA purification chemistries:
disruption of the cellular structure to create a lysate,
separation of the soluble DNA from cell debris and other insoluble material,
binding the DNA of interest to a purification matrix,
washing proteins and other contaminants away from the matrix and
elution of the DNA.

There are 'n' number of DNA isolation methods depending on the sample type, final use of DNA product, etc. This presentation gives an overall idea about different methods of DNA isolation in a simplified way.
this section helps students how to quanify the isolated DNA by spectrophotometer. specially life life science fields such as biotechnology, biology, and medical laboratory
DNA = Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a molecule that encodes the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms
DNA Libraries are collection of fragments of DNA cloned to a vector so that researchers can easily identify and isolate a particular gene of interest for future use.
BAC & YAC are artificially prepared chromosomes to clone DNA sequences.yeast artificial chromosome is capable of carrying upto 1000 kbp of inserted DNA sequence
Deciphering DNA sequences is essential for virtually all branches of biological research. With the
advent of capillary electrophoresis (CE)-based Sanger sequencing, scientists gained the ability to
elucidate genetic information from any given biological system. This technology has become widely
adopted in laboratories around the world, yet has always been hampered by inherent limitations in
throughput, scalability, speed, and resolution that often preclude scientists from obtaining the essential
information they need for their course of study. To overcome these barriers, an entirely new technology
was required—Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS), a fundamentally different approach to sequencing
that triggered numerous ground-breaking discoveries and ignited a revolution in genomic science.

DNA extraction is an important step in molecular assays and plays a vital role in obtaining highresolution results in gel-based systems, particularly in the case of cereals with high content of interfering components in the early steps of DNA extraction.This is a rapid miniprep DNA extraction method, optimized for rice, which was achieved via creating some modifications in present DNA extraction methods, especially in first step of breaking down and lyses of cell wall, and the use of cheap and frequent chemicals, found in every lab, in the next steps. The normal quality and quantity was obtained by the method. The PCR based assays also revealed the efficiency of the method.
The advantages of this method are: 1- it is applicable with both dry and fresh samples, 2- no need to large weight samples, 3- no need to liquid nitrogen and 4- easy, rapid and applicable in every laboratory.

Introduction
In terms of total production tonnages used for food, wheat is currently second to rice as the main human food crop and is the leading source of vegetable protein in human nutrition (Nutrient Data Laboratory). Aphids (Order Hemiptera) are major insect pests of world agriculture, damaging crops by removing photoassimilates and vectoring numerous plant viruses (Smith and Boyko, 2007). The grain aphid (Sitobion avenae) is considered a serious pest of commercial wheat in the UK. Many aphid species can develop resistance to insecticides (Devonshire and Field, 1991), and restrictions on the availability of active ingredients for insecticide production in Europe (European Directives 91/414/EEC) has prioritized research on crop varieties with resistance to aphid pests in UK agriculture (Painter, 1951; Panda and Kush, 1995; Smith, 2005). Most commercial wheat varieties have very little resistance to aphid pests (Lee, 1984; Dedryver and Di Pietro, 1984; Di Pietro and Dedryver, 1986; Migui, 2002; Migui and Lamb, 2003), with at best partial antibiosis, antixenosis and tolerancein some winter varieties (Lowe, 1984a; Lowe, 1984b; Havlícková, 1993). Wheat genetics are more complicated than that of most other crop species. Some wheat species are diploid, with two sets of chromosomes, but many are stable polyploids, with four sets of chromosomes (tetraploid) or six (hexaploid). Modern wheat varieties grown in the U.K. are hexaploid and have low genetic diversity for insect resistance traits (Ferry et al, 2011; Ogbonnaya et al, 2013; niab.com).
Diploid wheat (T. monococcum) lines have been observed to exhibit high levels of resistance against S. avenae (Migui and Lamb, 2003; 2004; Ferry et al, 2011). However, no previous studies have been carried out in these lines to investigate differentially expressed genes in response to aphid infestation. Therefore, differential proteomic analysis is being employed to identify putative defence responses in diploid wheat lines (Triticum monococcum L.) when subjected to grain aphid (S. avenae) feeding in order to better understand the basis of this observed resistance/tolerance.
In this lab you will conduct a 2D-electrophoresis separation of the wheat leaf proteome.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. INTRODUCTION :
DNA is successfully isolated from fungal species of
Cochliobolus, Aternaria, and Fusarium.
The key elements in this involve.
The use of young lyophilized mycelial mats—young
mats (4 days growth for C. carbonum) which yield less
contaminating carbohydrates and other miscellaneous
junk.
Lots of proteinase K in the extraction buffer to kill
DNAses (final =0.3 mg/mL).
3. PROCEDURE :
Place 0.2–0.5 g (dry weight) lyophilized pad in a 50-mL
disposable centrifuge tube, break up the pad with a
spatula or glass rod, add C. carbonum 5 mL 3 mm
glass beads and powder the pad by brief shaking.
Add 10 mL (for a 0.5 g pad) of CTAB extraction buffer
(see recipe below), gently mix to wet all of the
powdered pad.
Place in a 65°C water bath for 30 min.
Cool, add equal volume of CHCl2:IAA (24:1).
Mix, centrifuge in a table top fuge 10 min at full speed.
4. A
Transfer aqueous supernatant to a new tube.
Add an equal volume of isopropanol.
Upon mixing spool out the DNA with a glass rod or
hook. Pour out the remaining supernatant.
Rinse the spooled DNA with 70% ethanol.
Air dry, and add 1–5 mL TE containing 20 mg/mL
RNAse A. To resuspend the samples, place in a 65°C
bath, or allow pellets to resuspend overnight at 4°C.
5. NOTES :
If the spooled DNA is discolored or has contaminating
mycelial debris, phenol/chloroform extract and
precipitate with ethanol.
This protocol can be scaled down using a 0.1-g pad in
a 2-mL eppendorf tube.
For Southerns, we routinely cut 50–75 mL (2–4 mg) of
standard DNA, prepare in 200-mL volumes, EtOH
precipitate and resuspend in 30 mL.
6. A
Even after digestion the resuspended DNA can be very
viscous at room temperature. To load a Southern, we
keep the samples in a 50°C–60°C heat block while
loading to keep the samples at a lower viscosity.
CTAB extraction buffer: O.1M Tris, pH 7.5, 1% CTAB
(mixed hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide), 0.7 M
NaCl, 10 mM EDTA, 1% 2-mercaptoethanol. Add
proteinase K to a final concentration of 0.3 mg/mL prior
to use. Less proteinase K may be acceptable for
different fungi, and it hasn’t been determined if less can
be used. This concentration was calibrated for a
different C. carbonum DNA extraction buffer.
