Microsatellites, also known as simple sequence repeats (SSRs) or short tandem repeats (STRs), are fascinating stretches of DNA composed of short, repetitive sequences. Despite their simplicity, they hold significant value in various biological studies. What are the main features of microsatelli...
A virus is a tiny, infectious agent that can only reproduce inside the living cells of an organism. Viruses are much smaller than bacteria and far simpler in structure. They lack the machinery needed to replicate on their own and rely on host cells to provide the necessary resources.

A phylogenetic tree, also known as a phylogeny or evolutionary tree, is a powerful tool that visually depicts the evolutionary relationships between organisms. It's like a family tree for all living things, but instead of parents and children, it shows how species have descended from a common ancest...
RNA interference, often abbreviated as RNAi, is a remarkable biological process where small RNA molecules act as cellular volume knobs, regulating gene expression by silencing specific genes. It's a natural defense mechanism found in many organisms, including plants and animals, and has become a pow...

In contrast to forward genetic screens, which start with a mutant phenotype and hunt for the responsible gene, reverse genetic screens take the opposite approach. They begin with a known gene and aim to identify the phenotypic effects caused by disrupting its function. This targeted approach allows ...
