In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Meaning of Proteomics 2. Types of Proteomics 3. Significance. Meaning of Proteomics: The term proteomics was coined in mid 1990s at the back drop of successful genomics. In bioinformatics point of view proteomics is the databases of protein sequence, databases of predicted protein structures and more recently, databases of protein expression analysis. [...]
Natural occurrence of antisense RNA and its role in gene regulation have been realised long ago. Gene expression in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes are controlled by the product of regulatory gene, which are supposed to be proteins only. Recently, naturally occurring regulatory gene that directs the synthesis of RNA which can control gene expression. This newly discovered RNA repressor can [...]
The following points highlight the three main omic technologies in plant biotechnology. The technologies are: 1. Transcriptomics 2. Metabolomics 3. Phenomics. Technology # 1. Transcriptomics: Utility of microarray and sequence-based process to expression profiling fueled additional approach to current genomic data within bioinformatics. Microarray technology helps in gene expression analysis in many plant species. Sequence based methods have real potential [...]
