Open AccessRapid and selective concentration of bacteria, viruses, and proteins using alternating current signal superimposition on two coplanar electrodes
Dielectrophoresis (DEP) is usually effective close to the electrode surface. Several techniques have been developed to overcome its drawbacks and to enhance dielectrophoretic particle capture. Here we present ...

Comparative Analysis of DNA Methylation Polymorphism in Drought Sensitive (HPKC2) and Tolerant (HPK4) Genotypes of Horse Gram (Macrotyloma uniflorum)
DNA methylation is known as an epigenetic modification that affects gene expression in plants. Variation in CpG methylation behavior was studied in two natural horse gram (Macrotyloma uniflorum [Lam.] Verdc.) gen...

Computational identification of microRNAs and their targets from the expressed sequence tags of horsegram (Macrotyloma uniflorum (Lam.) Verdc.)
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of naturally occurring and small non-coding RNA molecules of about 21–25 nucleotides in length. Their main function is to downregulate gene expression in different manners like t...
