Histotypic culture involves growing cell lines in a three-dimensional matrix at high density to form tissue-like structures. Common techniques include using gels, sponges, hollow fibers, spheroids, and rotating chambers to provide a 3D environment that allows cells to organize similarly to how they would in tissues. This allows for the study of processes like drug penetration and cell differentiation that are not possible with traditional 2D cultures. While histotypic cultures provide a model for certain tissue functions, they also face challenges like loss of cell differentiation over time.
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.
SAGE (Serial analysis of Gene Expression)talhakhat
SAGE (Serial Analysis of Gene Expression) is a technique that allows for the rapid and comprehensive analysis of gene expression patterns in a given cell population. It works by isolating mRNA, synthesizing cDNA, ligating short sequence tags to the cDNA, and then counting the number of times each tag is observed to quantify gene expression levels. The tags are concatenated and sequenced to generate vast amounts of data that must be analyzed computationally to identify which genes particular tags correspond to and to compare expression profiles between cell types. SAGE provides an overview of a cell's complete transcriptional activity and has been applied to study differences in cancer vs normal cells and to identify targets of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes.
Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) Is A Modern And Cost Effective Sequencing Technology Which Enables Scientists To Sequence Nucleic Acids At Much Faster Rate. In This Presentation, You Will Learn About What is NGS, Idea Behind NGS, Methodology And Protocol, Widely Adapted NGS Protocols, Applications And References For Further Study.
Next generation sequencing (NGS) refers to modern DNA sequencing technologies that allow for high-speed, low-cost sequencing of entire genomes. NGS works by massively parallel sequencing of millions of DNA fragments. The Illumina sequencing by synthesis method is the most commonly used NGS approach. It involves library preparation, cluster generation on a flow cell, sequencing via reversible dye-terminator chemistry, and computational analysis of sequenced reads. Key advantages of NGS include its scalability, unlimited dynamic range, tunable coverage levels, and ability to multiplex many samples simultaneously in a single run.
Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) is a molecular cytogenetic technique that allows detection of copy number variations between a test and reference DNA sample without cell culturing. CGH involves labeling and hybridizing test and reference DNA to normal metaphase chromosomes before visualizing differences in fluorescence to identify regions of gains or losses. While CGH was originally used for cancer research, it can also detect chromosomal abnormalities associated with genetic disorders and has improved resolution over traditional cytogenetic methods. The main limitations of CGH are its inability to detect structural aberrations without copy number changes and resolutions above 5-10 megabases.
Molecular hybridization is the process by which two complementary strands of DNA or RNA bind together via hydrogen bonding between bases. It is used in techniques like cloning, PCR, and diagnostic tests involving nucleic acid probes. The document describes the process of hybridization, factors that affect binding strength, and techniques that utilize molecular hybridization like Southern blotting, dot/slot blotting, microarrays, and in situ hybridization.
ELISPOT assays are the most sensitive technology for detecting immune cells that secrete proteins like cytokines. They directly capture the analyte secreted by each individual cell, preventing dilution or degradation, making ELISPOT more sensitive than other methods like ELISA or flow cytometry. ELISPOT assays can detect rare antigen-specific immune cells and characterize both the quantity and effector classes of the antigen-specific immune response.

Mass spectrometry is an analytical technique that ionizes samples and measures the mass-to-charge ratio of ions to determine molecular masses. It requires charged gaseous molecules for analysis. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry uses a laser to ionize analyte molecules embedded in a matrix, which are then accelerated through a flight tube based on their mass-to-charge ratios. MALDI-TOF is commonly used to analyze biomolecules like proteins and is applied in fields like proteomics, metabolomics, environmental analysis, and forensics.
Njiru, 2012 has described that " Lack of effective point of care diagnostic tests applicable in resource-poor endemic areas is a critical barrier to effective treatment and control of infectious diseases.” Therefore, Innovations in biotechnology that combine molecular biology, microfabrication and bioinformatics are moving nucleic acid technologies from futuristic possibilities to common laboratory techniques and modes for diagnoses. In this context, LAMP (Loop Mediated Isothermal Amplification) is a highly sensitive and specific DNA/RNA amplification method. Advantage of LAMP is isothermal reaction condition and therefore, LAMP is affordable because of no need to have expensive thermal cycler.
Microarray technology allows researchers to analyze the expression levels of thousands of genes simultaneously using DNA probes attached to a solid surface. There are two main types of microarrays: glass cDNA microarrays which involve spotting pre-fabricated cDNA fragments on glass slides; and high-density oligonucleotide arrays which involve the in situ synthesis of oligonucleotides on a chip. The key steps in a microarray experiment are sample preparation and labeling, hybridization of labeled cDNA to the probes, washing, and image analysis to quantify gene expression levels. Microarrays have numerous applications including gene expression profiling, comparative genomics, disease diagnosis, drug discovery, and toxicology research.
This document provides an overview of multiple sequence alignment (MSA).

Common MSA software and applications are also summarized.
PRODUCTION AND MAINTENANCE OF EMBRYONIC STEM CELLSANKUR SHARMA
Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent stem cells and have capacity to differentiate into all type of cells arising from 3 different germ layers i.e., ecto-, meso- and endoderm. In this presentation brief information is given about different methods for production of embryonic stem cells and their maintenance
Q-PCR allows for quantitative analysis of DNA amplification in real-time using fluorescence detection. It monitors accumulation of fluorescent signals during each PCR cycle, allowing quantification of starting DNA template. Common probe-based methods include TaqMan probes with a fluorophore-quencher pair and molecular beacons which become fluorescent upon target binding. SYBR Green also detects amplification nonspecifically by binding double-stranded DNA. Q-PCR provides advantages over conventional PCR such as greater precision, sensitivity, and ability to quantify initial template amounts.
Cloning and Expression Vectors document discusses:
1) Cloning a gene of interest involves inserting it into a vector that can be replicated in host cells, producing recombinant DNA molecules.
2) Vectors contain features like replication origins, antibiotic resistance genes, and unique restriction sites to facilitate cloning and isolation.
3) Early cloning experiments demonstrated that recombinant plasmids containing both prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA could replicate stably in bacteria, allowing genetic engineering.
SAGE is a technique that allows for the digital analysis of overall gene expression patterns through the use of short sequence tags to uniquely identify transcripts without requiring preexisting clones. It works by linking these tags together into long serial molecules that can then be cloned and sequenced, with the number of times a particular tag is observed providing the expression level of the corresponding transcript. This allows for rapid sequencing analysis of multiple transcripts from a single sequencing event. SAGE is useful for comparative expression studies to identify differences in gene expression between tissues.
Transcriptomics is the study of RNA in cells and tissues. The transcriptome refers to the complete set of transcripts in a cell under a specific condition. Understanding the transcriptome reveals the functional elements of the genome and molecular constituents of cells. Techniques for studying the transcriptome include microarray analysis and RNA sequencing. Microarrays measure gene expression levels using fluorescently-labeled cDNA hybridized to probes on an array. RNA sequencing determines expression levels by sequencing individual cDNAs produced from target RNA. Transcriptomics provides insights into development, disease, and varying gene expression under different environmental conditions.
Emulsion PCR is a technique used in next-generation sequencing to amplify DNA sequences attached to beads. It involves compartmentalizing DNA fragments with primer-coated beads into water-in-oil emulsion droplets, with each droplet containing one fragment. The droplets then act as individual PCR reactors to amplify each fragment clonally onto a single bead. After thermal cycling, millions of copies of the DNA fragment are attached to each bead for downstream sequencing applications.
Next generation sequencing (NGS) involves chemical assays other than traditional Sanger sequencing to sequence DNA. The basic steps of NGS are: 1) library preparation where DNA is fragmented and adapters are ligated, 2) clonal amplification where fragments are amplified, and 3) sequencing reactions using techniques like pyrosequencing or reversible dye terminators to determine the sequence. The sequenced fragments are then analyzed bioinformatically to map reads and assemble sequences.
The document discusses the plasmid vector pBR322, which was constructed in 1977 and is one of the most commonly used cloning vectors. It describes the origins and components of pBR322, including two antibiotic resistance genes, the origin of replication, and restriction enzyme cleavage sites. The document also summarizes the construction of several derivatives of pBR322, including pBR327, pUC18, and pBR118/119, and notes their applications and advantages over the original pBR322 vector.
Flow cytometry works by passing cells in a fluid stream through a laser beam, which causes light scattering and fluorescence that is detected and analyzed. Cells are labeled with fluorescent markers and passed through the flow cell in a hydrodynamically focused stream. A laser excites the fluorescent molecules, which emit light at different wavelengths. Forward scatter detects cell size, side scatter detects internal complexity. Detectors convert light signals to digital data, which is analyzed through gating and dot plots to identify cell populations and properties. Flow cytometry allows rapid multi-parameter analysis of individual cells.

Homology modeling is a technique used to predict the 3D structure of a protein based on the alignment of its amino acid sequence to known protein structures. It relies on the observation that structure is more conserved than sequence during evolution. The key steps in homology modeling include: 1) identifying a template structure through sequence alignment tools like BLAST, 2) correcting any errors in the initial alignment, 3) generating the protein backbone based on the template structure, 4) modeling any loops or missing regions, 5) adding side chains, 6) optimizing the model structure energetically, and 7) validating that the final model matches the template structure and has correct stereochemistry. Homology modeling is useful for applications like structure-based drug design

SBML FOR OPTIMIZING DECISION SUPPORT'S TOOLScsandit
Many theoretical works and tools on epidemiological field reflect the emphasis on decisionmaking
tools by both public health and the scientific community, which continues to increase.
Indeed, in the epidemiological field, modeling tools are proving a very important way in helping
to make decision. However, the variety, the large volume of data and the nature of epidemics
lead us to seek solutions to alleviate the heavy burden imposed on both experts and developers.
In this paper, we present a new approach: the passage of an epidemic model realized in Bio-
PEPA to a narrative language using the basics of SBML language. Our goal is to allow on one
hand, epidemiologists to verify and validate the model, and the other hand, developers to
optimize the model in order to achieve a better model of decision making. We also present some
preliminary results and some suggestions to improve the simulated model.

Minimal Testcase Generation for Object-Oriented Software with State Chartsijseajournal
Today statecharts are a de facto standard in industry for modeling system behavior. Test data generation is
one of the key issues in software testing. This paper proposes an reduction approach to test data generation
for the state-based software testing. In this paper, first state transition graph is derived from state chart
diagram. Then, all the required information are extracted from the state chart diagram. Then, test cases
are generated. Lastly, a set of test cases are minimized by calculating the node coverage for each test case.
It is also determined that which test cases are covered by other test cases. The advantage of our test
generation technique is that it optimizes test coverage by minimizing time and cost. The present test data
generation scheme generates test cases which satisfy transition path coverage criteria, path coverage
criteria and action coverage criteria. A case study on Railway Ticket Vending Machine (RTVM) has been
presented to illustrate our approach.

System modeling involves developing abstract models of a system from different perspectives using notations like UML. Models are used during requirements, design, and documentation. Common model types include context models, interaction models using use cases and sequence diagrams, structural class diagrams, and behavioral state diagrams. Model-driven engineering aims to generate implementations automatically from models. Key aspects of software design include understanding interactions, architectural design, identifying objects, developing design models, and specifying interfaces. Design patterns provide reusable solutions to common problems.
UML is a modeling language used to create visual models of object-oriented software systems. It was developed in the early 1990s to standardize the various object-oriented modeling notations in use at the time. UML uses different types of diagrams to represent different views of a system, including use case diagrams, class diagrams, sequence diagrams, and state machine diagrams. The language provides a standardized way to visualize the various components of an object-oriented system.
The document provides an introduction to the Unified Modeling Language (UML). It discusses the key principles of modeling and an overview of UML. The UML is a standard language for writing software blueprints and can be used to visualize, specify, construct, and document software systems. The UML has building blocks like classes, objects, use cases and relationships. It consists of diagrams like class diagrams, sequence diagrams, and state machine diagrams. The UML addresses multiple views of a system including use case, design, interaction and implementation views.
This document discusses various system modeling techniques, including context models, interaction models, structural models, and behavioral models. It provides examples of each type of model using the Unified Modeling Language (UML). Context models show the system and its relationships to other external systems. Interaction models include use case diagrams and sequence diagrams. Structural models include class diagrams, which depict classes and relationships. Behavioral models show how a system responds to events. The document also discusses object-oriented design, implementation issues, and open source development.
This document discusses various UML diagrams including class diagrams, use case diagrams, and their advantages and disadvantages. It provides an example class diagram for the abstract factory design pattern. Use case diagrams are used to gather system requirements and show interactions between actors and use cases. They provide an outside view of a system and can be used in both forward and reverse engineering. While useful for requirements analysis, use case diagrams do not describe implementation details.
The document discusses system modeling and different types of models used during requirements engineering including context models, data flow diagrams, state machine models, semantic data models, object models, and sequence diagrams. It also introduces the Unified Modeling Language (UML) notation and explains how analysis workbenches can support system modeling.

Vermiculture and Vermicomposting ppt/ slideshareBharath S R
1. VERMICULTURE
Vermis = worm, cultura = growth
Composting done with the help of earthworms is known as vermicomposting
The habitat, habits, nutrition,
reproduction of different
earthworms differ, hence the
need to select the proper species
for the given need
2. IMPORTANT ASPECTS
Habits & habitat
Found everywhere expect sandy soil and soil deficient in humus
Found in upper layers of slightly damp soil
One acre of land = 50,000 earthworms on an average
3. Nutrition
Feed on dead organic matter
Secretions of the intestinal tract release the plant nutrients in simple forms in the form of castings
Castings contain 5-11 times of available N, P and K
4. Organic wastages that is paper waste, garden waste, industrial waste contribute negative impact on the environment.
Vermicomposting method is fully utilized to manage the wastes towards a more sustainable approach.
The worms that are used in the vermicomposting are Eisenia foetida and Eudrillus euginae.
With the help of earthworms, organic waste is subjected to decomposition and compost is formed and it is good manure for growth of plant with a permissible NPK values.
5. PRINCIPLES OF COMPOSTING PROCESSES
The organic material present in the municipal wastes can be converted to stable from either aerobically or anaerobically.
In case of aerobic decomposition micro-organisms oxidized organic compounds to CO2, NO2 .& NO3.
Here carbon is used as source of energy and nitrogen is recycled. This is an exothermic reaction, hence temperature rises.
In case of anaerobic decomposition organic compounds while metabolizing nutrients breakdown by the process of reduction where CH4 & CO2 are released with small amount of energy.
This is an endothermic reaction where temperature doesn’t raise much.
6. Advantages of Vermicomposting:
• Least expensive method.
• It works relatively low temperature which is helpful.
• To destroy pathogens.
• It improves the pH of the soil. Earthworm is having characteristics of changing acidic or alkaline soil to neutral soil. Waste land can also be converted to fertile land.
• Vermicomposting increases the soil texture, soil aeration, fertility and soil moisture and reduces in the water requirement in long run.
• The optimal carbon/nitrogen (C/N) ratio is available in vermicomposting, which determines the quality of compost.

Hand Rolled Applicative User ValidationCode KataPhilip Schwarz
Could you use a simple piece of Scala validation code (granted, a very simplistic one too!) that you can rewrite, now and again, to refresh your basic understanding of Applicative operators <*>, <*, *>?
The goal is not to write perfect code showcasing validation, but rather, to provide a small, rough-and ready exercise to reinforce your muscle-memory.
Despite its grandiose-sounding title, this deck consists of just three slides showing the Scala 3 code to be rewritten whenever the details of the operators begin to fade away.
The code is my rough and ready translation of a Haskell user-validation program found in a book called Finding Success (and Failure) in Haskell - Fall in love with applicative functors.

Graspan: A Big Data System for Big Code AnalysisAftab Hussain
We built a disk-based parallel graph system, Graspan, that uses a novel edge-pair centric computation model to compute dynamic transitive closures on very large program graphs.
We implement context-sensitive pointer/alias and dataflow analyses on Graspan. An evaluation of these analyses on large codebases such as Linux shows that their Graspan implementations scale to millions of lines of code and are much simpler than their original implementations.
These analyses were used to augment the existing checkers; these augmented checkers found 132 new NULL pointer bugs and 1308 unnecessary NULL tests in Linux 4.4.0-rc5, PostgreSQL 8.3.9, and Apache httpd 2.2.18.

2. SYSTEMS BIOLOGY MARKUP LANGUAGE (SBML)
SBML is a machine-readable language, based on XML, free and open interchange
format for representing models of biological processes.
It can represent metabolic networks, cell-signaling pathways, regulatory networks
and many other kinds of systems.
SBML as an input and output format, different software tools can operate on the same
representation of a model, removing chances for errors in translation and assuring a
common starting point for analyses and simulations
SBML can encode models consisting of entities
(for example, molecular species) linked and modified
by processes (for example, biochemical reactions).
Here is an artificial example of a small set of biochemical reactions
The symbols in square brackets (e.g., S1) represent concentrations of molecular species,
the arrows represent reactions, and the formulas above the arrows represent the rates at
which the reactions take place.
Broken down into its constituents, this model contains a number of components: reactant
species, product species, reactions, reaction rates, and parameters in the rate expressions.
2
3. Two important principles in SBML are that
Models are decomposed into explicitly-labeled constituent elements, and
The representation deliberately does not cast the model directly into a set of differential
equations or other specific interpretation of the model.
This makes it easier for a software tool to interpret the model and translate the SBML form
into whatever internal form the tool actually uses
How is SBML is used?
• Meant to provide an exchange language for software tools
• Don’t write SBML by hand, a software can do it
• Software tools that “speak” SBML provides a higher-level interface
• Applications usually have their own native format.
• Import/export SBML rather than natively save as SBML.
Some important SBML constructs
Basic elements
Species
Compartment
Parameter
Reaction
3
Additional useful elements
Unit definition
Rule
Function definition
Event
Initial assignment
Constraint
4. SBML “rules”
Rules in SBML define extra mathematical expressions
E.g., If need to express additional mathematical
relationships beyond what is implied by the
system of reactions.
3 subtypes:
Rules that defines relationship that hold at all times
4
Rules in the context of the overall model
Equation derived from
reaction definitions
Algebraic rules
Assignment rules
Rate rules
(And while this example uses concentrations, it could equally have used other measures, such as the number of molecules of each chemical species.)
Accepted by dozens of journals
100’s of software tools available today
Libraries: libSBML, JSBML
260+ listed in SBML software guide
1000’s of model available
In public databases eg., Bio-Models database, Reactome
As supplementary data to papers
