In population structure of 500 individuals. Analyzing autosomal and Y-chromosomal STRs in Pakistani populations can provide valuable insights into their demographic history, lineage characterization, and forensic applications.
Researchers of the Plant Biotechnology lab have successfully demonstrated the effectiveness of multiplexed Cas9-based genome editing in reducing viral load in cotton plants. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00425-023-04233-w
Growth performance of heat and drought transgenic cotton plants and boll formation in field conditions and Relative expression of AsHSP70 and GhHSP70 through RT-qPCR in different tissues of transgenic plants under drought, heat, cold and drought/heat stress.
To combat multi-drug resistance, researchers in Medical Biotechnology Lab have found indigenous bacteriophages & plants having therapeutic potential against MDR bacteria & fungi. Extracts of Plants also possessed anti-cancerous & pesticidal activities. At molecular level, MDR gene silencing through miRNA was also performed in cancerous cell lines.
Extensive research at the Nutraceutical and Microbial Biotechnology Lab, involving in-vitro, in-vivo, and in-silico studies, identifies a promising plant from class Equisetopsida against Alzheimer's disease. These findings hold potential for developing a novel pharmaceutical agent for Alzheimer's disease
