Hello to all my fellow Biologists.
I have resorted to posting this question as my last desperate attempt to find a place for myself in the world of biotechnology.
I am a first class student with relatively good grades (GPA 3.77/4.00) in BSc. of Biotechnology (Hons), excellent extra-curriculars and competitions under my belt, 6 months of work as a Field/Research Assistant and 4 years of previous work experience in events management. I have experience in the microbiology, molecular biology, antivirals, nutraceuticals and cell culture disciplines. I have also taken a great liking to scientific communication and create visual content to make biology simpler for the Layman, both bother and in my own time.
Despite all this, I haven't had a single postgraduate application succeed for the last 2 years. And though I do understand there is high competition for available spots, I also wonder what I may be lacking despite some telling me I have an "impressive CV" and can do a direct PhD.
It is unfortunate however that my family is not doing financially well, therefore I can only afford opportunities with a scholarship or that are work/salary-based. Perhaps this narrows available opportunities but regardless, studentship scholarships have very evidently not opted for me, simply because "there were too many applicants this time around". Perhaps lacking funds is not enough of a criteria? (Hint of sarcasm).
Additionally, I was born and raised in the UAE (I do not get citizenship), therefore I am also looking for a potential country to eventually settle down in while doing the work I love.
I would greatly appreciate if anyone would know of opportunities I may be able to apply for like fully funded PhDs, or skilled/summer programs and workshops/internships, or even Research or Lab assistant positions you or someone you know may be looking for, because unfortunately, I'm 2 rejections away from being completely out of options.
I would greatly appreciate any input you may have or can share with me! I have also added my CV for your reference.
I don't want my impression of the field I love to be tainted with nothing but rejections, and to settle for a job outside our field simply because I had no other choice.
I look forward to hearing from you all.
Sincerely,
Zahraa Ozeer

I have a list of SNPs for a rice gene. And I have two questions related to this:
1. I want to make a figure showing the respective position of the haplotype in the genomic region (UTR, exon, intron). How can I do it?
2. If not manually, how can I replace the original sequence nucleotides with the haplotype's SNPs?
Hi, I did 16s rRNA sequencing and my isolate showed b.breve strain 3018. After doing the nacl resistance test it turned out that my strain is resistant at concentrations of 1.5%, 2.5%, up to 3.5%. My friend and I have bifidobacterium breve isolate with different strains but our nacl resistance ability is different, my friend's isolate is not resistant to nacl. my question is there a difference in the gene/genome or what? If yes, what is the name of the gene/genome? because I find it difficult to find specific literacy mentioning the genes/genomes that play a role in nacl resistance
note: I did a nacl test for probiotic characterization
Thank You
How can plant breeding and biotechnology be used to develop crop varieties that are resistant to pests and diseases, drought-tolerant, and have higher yields?

I am trying to isolate a nuclear protein NF-kB from raw cells in order to do a western blot.
I have searched some protocol for nuclear isolation and finally came up with one. But in that protocol, apart from adding 420mM Nacl for NE buffer , they have added an extra 400mM using 5M NaCl directly onto nuclear pellet and again 1 pellet volume of NE buffer. Can anyone tell why extra NaCl should be added, and if we add double the volume of NE buffer, won't the protein get diluted? I'm attaching that protocol along with this.
I repeatedly get no colonies using the GeneMorph II random mutagenesis kit.The initial error prone PCR yields a substantial amount of target DAN, however, after the EZclone step, I get no colonies. Does anyone know what could be going wrong?

Hello dear biologists and biotechnologists,
you should understand my question and my thinking.
What do you think of the excessive involvement of other disciplines (especially mathematics) in publications in the field of biology, is this not a danger for our dear discipline: biology and biotechnology? . How could we explain that there are in certain cases, potentially, more publications in fields of biology, made by mathematicians than by biologists? Do mathematicians no longer manage to publish in mathematical fields that they turn to biology? I'm afraid that before long, real publications by biologists will be very rare. Save our discipline against opportunism.
I have few sets of questions related to CHO cells (CHO-S cell line) :-
1) Can somebody tell me what effect physical factors like light (other than UV or radiation) have on CHO cell growth, viability, morphology, and quality profile?
2) Can anybody with a microbiology or algal background provide a set of light intensity or LUX ranges for observing any difference in the profile of CHO cells? Though this physical agent appears to be ineffective, as light has no influence on the growth profile of the CHO cells but for an observation and to monitor the growth profile I wanted to setup this experiment.
3)Can someone provide some strategies for installing a tube lamp or a light source inside a CO2 incubator such that the shaking flask with CHO cells is constantly exposed to light and the effect can be easily monitored?
4) Is there any research paper or review paper on effect of light on cells specifically CHO cells, or any other cells which shows a remarkable impact on the overall profile?
if gene expression is low in specific diseases based on previous research,
But when I measured the protein expressed by the same gene in blood of same disease by ELISA I found high serum level?
what is the explanation for this difference between gene expression and its protein concentration in blood?
Dear colleagues,
I am pleased to inform you that our previous project on biotechnology and drug development is progressing well, and I wanted to thank you all for your contributions to its success. Your expertise and insights have been invaluable, and I am grateful for your ongoing support.
With that in mind, I am now excited to announce that I am planning another project on a similar topic, and I would like to invite you to participate once again. This project will focus on the latest developments in biotechnology and their applications in drug discovery and development.
I believe that our collective expertise and diverse perspectives will be critical to the success of this project, and I am looking forward to working with you all again.
I am excited to announce that I am planning to edit a new article collection about natural products and biotechnology. The goal of this collection is to bring together cutting-edge research on the use of natural products in biotechnology, including applications in drug discovery, agriculture, and environmental science.
I am currently seeking to form an editor team and I would like to invite you to participate. The team will consist of 3-5 co-editors, and we aim to have a geographically diverse range of institutions.
To be considered for this role, all Topic Editors must have a PhD and at least 3 years of post-doctoral experience, as well as some relevant editorial experience. The majority of the team must also be at Associate Professor level or above.
In addition, I am writing to let you know that we are actively seeking authors for this collection, and we would be honored to consider your work for inclusion.
Please note that there is a publication charge associated with this collection, as our journal is an open access publication. However, we also understand that funding can be a major barrier for many researchers, which is why we offer a fee waiver program. This program allows authors to apply for a discount of up to 100% on the publication fee, based on their individual financial circumstances.
We believe that every researcher should have the opportunity to share their work with the scientific community, regardless of their financial situation. Our fee waiver program is just one of the ways that we are working to make this a reality.
If you are interested in submitting a manuscript to this collection, please don't hesitate to reach out to me for more information. We would be delighted to consider your work for publication.
Best regards,

Dear friends, I'm looking for colleagues who want to write a book on current topics in biotechnology. I'm attaching the possible abstract of the book, in case any of you want to participate.
1. Proposed title of the book:
Research and drug development in human diseases- Recent advances in biotechnology
2. A one-page abstract outlining its key features and information about the intended audience:
The research in human diseases is a very active field in health sciences. The development of new drugs with improvements in efficacy as well as the reduction in side effects is desirable in drug development. In this regard, the research about of new bioactive compounds, which can be further modified to improve its medical performance is It is a topic of current research.
The fundamental aspect of the research work about new drugs includes the isolation and identification of organic molecules in different sources. This assignment can be drastically improved by the use of modern biotechnology techniques as the omic sciences, for example.
Also, the research in the application of the isolated compounds can be from different sources as natural, synthesis and in silico among others sources. Therefore, there are several biological models to study the new drugs. For example, the mourin model is useful to study the tissue and physiological functions. Others biological models as the chicken egg model is related to the antibody and vaccine research, as well as the fish model which is useful to study cell morphology. Although, the biotechnology is used for the development of new drugs recently.
For this manner, In the case of vector-transmitted diseases, the identification of the vector via biotechnology is crucial to the development of new drugs. Also, the climatic change facilitates the emergence of new diseases for example the chikungunya and Leishmaniasis diseases, inclusive in countries non-tropical.
In order to complete these preliminary studies of new drug development, further computer auxiliary models performed by pharmacokinetic studies contributes to our understanding the principal pathways of new drugs in the human system with biotechnology development in the implementation.
This book represents a small but representative effort to go a step ahead in this battle between disease and targets, with the use of biotechnology in the development and implementation of the new drugs. Additionally, this book is intended to give a varied context, which could be useful for health scientists, as well as science students interested to increase its knowledge in frontier research regarded with drug development, particularly in the biotechnology field.

We know that putting repetitive sequences in a single plasmid may initiate recombination in those plasmids. If recombination happens, the sequences in between those repetitive sequences may get excised out.
Can this be prevented by having the repetitive sequences in two separate plasmids (with two different backbones)? Would recombination still occur in between the separate plasmid systems?
P.s. I am working with a bacteria which is almost genotypically identical to its wild type variant. It is also not a recA- strain.

Dear colleagues,
I am writing to inquire if anyone knows how and where to find some unused antibody that was discontinued by Santa Cruz Biotechnology (KCNQ1 Antibody (C-20): sc-10646). Our lab would like to use it to complete some previous results that we obtained with that particular antibody. SCBT has an alternative antibody as a replacement, but we would prefer to use the old one if possible.
If anyone has any remaining stock of this antibody, or if you know of a source where it may still be available, please let me know. Your assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I wonder if anyone knows how to use sample release reagent from Sansure Biotech ?
Long story short, I need to degrade 30ug of RNA and i need to do it at 4C. I want to use only as much RNAse A as necessary.
So if performing the reaction at 4C, how long of incubation time and how much RNAse A would i need to degrade 30ug of RNA?
For example, would 1ug of RNAse A(20ug/ml conc.) for 15min at 4C be enough?

As all the world is busy in discovering cure for COVID-19, so why not radiation? COVID-19 has been reported to effect the human's lungs and liver (specific tissues), So, what if those parts are exposed to radiation for the rapid recovery of the patients? Is it possible? Or, is there any possibility for radiotherapy of COVID-19?
I couldn't see much paper where plant breeders use biochemical such as proline content Malondialdehyde (MDA) and dyes such as NBT or DAB( for ROS detection) for screening stress-tolerant accession on a large scale (100-200 which I suppose is possible to do). Are not these methods better than phenotyping grain yield, biomass, plant height, NDVI, LAI, etc?
I am Janu Newar, Ph.D. Scholar from School of Biotechnology, KIIT University, Bhubaneswar, Odisha. Our lab is basically working on proteins from biological sources. This work involves the identification of some proteins. I would like to request some help with the Agilent 6530 Q-TOF instrument.
For identification of the protein, we are using a glass insert of 0.2ml volume (Part no: 5188-5390). My query is can we use 0.025ml of the sample volume in this insert and can inject 0.02ml of sample in the column. If not, then how much lower volume can we use in this 0.2ml insert?
