The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention contracted with laboratories to sequence the SARS-CoV-2 genome from positive samples across the United States to enable public health officials to investigate the impact of variants on disease severity as well as the effectiveness of vaccines and treatment. Herein we present the initial results correlating RT-PCR quality control metrics with sample collection and sequencing methods from full SARS-CoV-2 viral genomic sequencing of 24,441 positive patient samples between April and June 2021. RT-PCR confirmed (N Gene Ct value < 30)...
Plumbing the ‘dark’ genome for new genes Updated: Updated: This can aid diagnosis, cure diseases Share Article AAA New revelaton: Mutations in the novel regions do have physiological consequences, says Sudhakaran Prabakaran. | Photo Credit: Rasi Bhadramani This can aid diagnosis, cure diseases On June 26, 2000, former U.S. President, Bill Clinton, announced the completion of a draft sequence of the human genome, a historic landmark for genetic research. The Human Genome Project helped map our genes, strengthened the study of human diseases and aided new drug discovery. But even after ...

If physicists have their dark matter, molecular biologists have their dark DNA or dark genome. Now a dynamic team of young biologists from across the planet, the Prabakaran Group, is cracking its secrets like never before. Let's start from the basics. What is a gene? The gene is that part of the DNA strand that codes for a protein. That is a st...
