The contagious world of Hotbacteria

About Hotbacteria!

I am a crazy molecular Biologist with whimsical ideas in his crackpot brain and an unquenchable thirst to learn Science, Cultures, languages and Traditions...

They call me Tarun. I am a Graduate Student in Human Genomics at National Center for Human Genome Studies & Research, India.

Two things rule my mind.. Music & research.. When I say research, I would like to mention John Cage's words: "I don't know why people are frightened of new ideas; I am frightened of old ones"

Hmmmm... I guess.. I am a simple guy with a simple living.. who has recently stopped worrying about his future. I have decided not to go abroad for PhD anymore for now I think that a caring & understanding guide, homely & religious environment, and living near to parents is much more important than anything else.

Quite recently, I have started to have religious inclinations and since then, I have made it a habit to pay a visit to University Temple and Gurudwara daily. I find peace there and the chants and mantras there work as a strong stress breaker for me. I got the holy "Bhagvad Gita" along with my degree on my bachelor's convocation. I find it extremely guiding whenever I am in dilemma.

I love to learn new languages, cultures and traditions and make friends from all walks of life so that I can make myself familier with different colours of life. I have a strong appreciation for Nature and a passion for Science.

I crave to explore this world as much as I can and I whole heartedly extend an invitation to you all to come to my India and see its rich culture and diverse traditions and cherish its beautiful landscapes.

Any one who sings similar tunes or is interested in sharing intellectual/philosophical stuff is most welcome to enlighten me. I feel it takes me few steps closer in my pursuit of being a good human being... You can find my Curriculum Vitae at: http://hotbacteria.googlepages.com/Tarun_CV.pdf

Dear All,

Let me take this oppurtunity to introduce you to a product of one of those wasted times when one feels like the laziest man ever lasted on this earth. Nevertheless, it is quite useful for those slothful students who feel like yawning everytime they have to do "n" number of most simple calculations for making solutions in Lab. I introduce you to SOLUTION MAKER. It can help you with those simple Molarity/weight calculations and stock-working conversions that you do for each and every solution you make.

It is available for download here: http://hotbacteria.googlepages.com/Solution_Maker.zip

or here: http://groups.google.com/group/exciting-science/web/Solution_Maker.zip

Feel free to use/share in whatever way you want. As I said, its a product of laziness, don't expect too much from it :)

Comments/suggestions are most welcome.

Kind Regards,
Tarun Gupta

Tumour suppressors: The dark side of p27

2007-09-09T11:36:00.000+05:30

Several pieces of evidence indicate that the tumour suppressor p27 (encoded by CDKN1B) has other functions beyond its role as a cell-cycle inhibitor. James Roberts, Arnaud Besson and colleagues now show that, unexpectedly, p27 can behave as a dominant oncoprotein in vivo. So, as well as having a role as a cell-cycle inhibitor, the tumor suppressor p27 can also behave as a dominant oncoprotein in vivo.

Kindly have a look at this article published in Nature's Signalling Gateway: http://www.signaling-gateway.org/update/updates/200709/nrc2216.html

Immortal Strand Hypothesis Ruled out

2007-09-05T16:41:00.001+05:30

To keep organisms running smoothly, stem cells rejuvenate tissues by providing a constant supply of fresh cells. But every time a stem cell copies its chromosomes, it puts itself at risk of generating mutations in the new chromosomes. Scientists have thought for more than 30 years that stem cells avoid mutations by segregating their chromosomes asymmetrically-- placing all the new chromosomes they create when replicating into the new cell and keeping the old ones as an error-free template, an idea called the "immortal strand hypothesis."

But new results show that this isnt true after all; stem cells divide just like any other cell, parsing their chromosomes randomly between the progeny. The experiments, reported in Nature, show that at least for blood stem cells, asymmetric segregation doesn't hold up.

Kindly have a look at the following article: http://sciencenow.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/2007/829/3

Diploid Genome needed for Sequencing, not haploid one...

2007-09-05T16:28:00.001+05:30

Craig venter has just published a paper in PLOS Biology which says that haploid genomes underestimate the amount of genetic variation between individuals by a factor of 5.

Venter and co-workers compared his two haploid genomes to assess the differences between the DNA he inherited from his mother and that from his father. They looked for everything from easy-to-find differences in single bases to much more obscure variations in chunks of DNA sequence that had been inserted or deleted from chromosomes. All told, the analysis found more than 4 million variants between Venter's maternal and paternal chromosomes. This suggests that humans differ by 0.5%, not 0.1% as suggested by earlier estimates.

"We need to have diploid genomes to sort out our full inheritance, not just haploid genome."
