Though each cell in our body has the same set of instructions, called DNA, some turn into brain cells, while others become muscles. That's because microRNAs regulate genes at cellular level, acting as a switch that turns genes off or on. "Their groundbreaking discovery revealed a new principle of gene regulation essential for multicellular organisms", the jury said.
* Ambros and Ruvkun discovered microRNAs during their study on two mutant strains of worms. The
results of the study was published in 1993.
* As microRNAs help us control the behaviour of genes, they could help in treating various diseases. In
cancer patients, they can be used to cause the mutated gene in the cancer cells to stop its activities.
My take
Victor and Gary, BZ!
Tailpiece.
Got up by a half past 6, washed up and along with Anish, went for the morning cuppa from one of the street vendors and returned with tea for the others.
Chambu joined us for having breakfast and getting two for Maman and Ammayi.
Left the PWD Rest House by a half past 10 and I had hopped on to a private bus to Muvattupuzha. From there, I boarded a superfast to Kozhikode and got dropped at Thrissur. From there, I'd hopped on to another private bus and got dropped at Guruvayur.
BJP retains Haryana while the Congress-NC wins the majority in J&K.
