CRISPR Technology: Revolutionizing Genetic Engineering in Biotechnology

Image
  CRISPR  stands for  Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats . It is a component of bacterial immune systems that can cut DNA, and has been repurposed as a gene editing tool. It acts as a precise pair of molecular scissors that can cut a target DNA sequence, directed by a customizable guide. Biochemist Jennifer Doudna  and  Microbiologist Emmanuelle Charpentier  co-invented the gene-editing system  CRISPR-Cas9 , a technology for editing DNA with unprecedented precision and efficiency. CRISPR-Cas9 opens up novel and wide-ranging possibilities across medicine, biology and agriculture. CRISPR  is a technology that research scientists use to selectively modify the DNA of living organisms. CRISPR was adapted for use in the laboratory from naturally occurring genome editing systems found in bacteria. Efficient tools for targeting specific genes for laboratory research, agricultural engineering, biotechnology, and human disease treatme...

Horse Riding Club at Ambalika Institute

Image
Ambalika Institute of Management and Technology recently established a groundbreaking initiative in the form of a horse riding club on its sprawling campus. This was done keeping in mind the rigors of academics that engineering and management students face. Horse riding is a holistic activity which adds to the repertoire of the existing indoor and outdoor extra-curricular activities that the college offers to provide both recreation and enrichment of personality, and fits perfectly into the vision of the college to nurture well-rounded individuals who are proficient in both their professional and personal lives. Why horse riding excels as an extra-curricular activity: Horse riding promotes physical fitness and health Horse riding is a demanding physical activity which ensures that the students remain very fit and healthy. It offers a full-body workout, engaging various muscles and improving core strength, balance, and coordination. As riders maintain their posture and control the horse...
