How accurate tridot test kit are?

Fri, 29 Oct 2021 10:50:01 +0000

How reliable is the TRI-DOT HIV test? Is there a case where a person is infected but the TRI-DOT showed a negative result? Recently I have gotten to know through my diagnostic lab colleague about this. he is currently using HIV Test Kit provided by a company J Mitra. According to him, the results are good & accurate. just want to suggest.

CRISPR/Cas

May someone please help me with this:

You observed that the CRISPR knock-out of protein X either promotes or
represses RNA polymerase II transcription, depending on the gene. Which
experiments would you carry out to reveal the mechanism for this
differential activity?

Thank you

dCas9(D10A) and AncBE4max for Polynesian Albinism single nucleotide conversion

Tue, 29 Jun 2021 21:30:56 +0000

Hello!

I'm working on a personal project to convert a Guanine into an Adenine in this specific albinism causing allele: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene?Db=gen...;Term=4948

The mutation is at 2324 in the code.
My plan is to use a double nickase dCas9(D10A) to bring the AncBE4max to that site and convert the Guanine into Adenine while in-vivo.

I took inspiration from this article in particular: https://www.nature.com/articles/jhg2009130?proof=t

And this one: https://www.mdpi.com/2073-4409/9/7/1690/htm

As well as this article: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-019-11514-0

I haven't yet built a plasmid from scratch and am trying to use GenSmart Design to do so, but am not yet able to figure out how to delete things from the prebuilt plasmid sections. I am hoping to get some aide into what programs I should be using to build my plasmid as well as any know-how into how this works and if it can work.

Using the sgrna design tools online with the basic PAM of NGG, I haven't been able to find sites close enough to the edit zone to seem viable. I am trying to keep it below a span of 40 nucleotides, but I also don't have a good idea of what I'm doing. Any help with explaining how I should be going about this would be wonderful.

Due to certain personal circumstances, I am unable to continue my education at university and am trying to find other ways to continue my education into this field. Any tips for that would also be greatly appreciated.

Godspeed,

Need Lab (academic or commercial) Routinely Running Akt activation ELISA Assays

Thu, 24 Jun 2021 14:53:30 +0000

The title says it all. I need to find a lab already setup to do routine ELISA assays for Akt phosphorylation in PBMCs. Something along the lines of the ThermoFisher Akt(pS473) assay kits or equivalent. All the labs I have canvassed are unfamiliar and require method transfer and validation which turns out to be triple the cost of running the assays themselves. This would be non-GLP, could be academic or commercial lab and would initially be about 300 samples in duplicate.

Thanks in advance

Building up research community for fighting emerging diseases and pandemics

Thu, 27 May 2021 21:01:46 +0000

I am looking to build a research community focused on the field of biomedical research that works actively for a social cause in India. Our idea is to form a community that dedicates its effort in carrying out research focusing on providing effective solutions for key problems in biotechnology/biomedical research, (currently our focus is on building up a research community for fighting emerging diseases and pand emics) which very few people actually work on with pure motivation in creating a translatable solution to a problem, rather than in generating publication and maintaining profile ( I know this is an integral part of research career no offense, but motivation priority matters here a lot). As the community grows we have to plan and work on how to work together, channelize funding, and set up a registered organization. Anybody interested/motivated to be a part of the community for this cause are welcome to join and let the community grow! Any ideas/suggestions are highly appreciated.

Thanks

[Feedback Request] Drug Bible - The complete drug guide (iOS/Android)

Sat, 08 May 2021 04:43:07 +0000

Hi All,

I'm the developer of the "Drug Bible" and other apps such as Smart Pill ID ( an AI powered pill identifier).

Available on the App Store and Play Store.

I worked with users in the FDA, NIH, and other health organizations to complete the ultimate drug guide. This handy tool has all the information you will ever need as a consumer, prescriber, or researcher. The Drug Bible has information on over 100,000 prescription and over the counter drugs, both brand name and generics.

Quickly search for drugs or by application to view drug images, labels, documents (research, reviews, letters, and others), as well as clinical and consumer information. Consumer information includes general information, side effects, news, and drug prices. Clinical information includes the following information:

Adverse Reactions
Clinical Pharmacology
Contraindications
Description
Dosage and Administration
Drug Interactions
How Supplied
Indications and Usage
Mechanism of Action
Overdosage
Pediatric Use
Pregnancy

Once a medical application has been chosen, you may filter the drugs by Brand Name, Generic Name, Substance Name, Manufacturer Name, Chemical Structure Class, Established Pharmacologic Class, Pharmacological Class, and Mechanism of Action. Drug information is updated monthly.

Any and all feedback is much appreciated!
