  Pretreatment of Lignocellulosic Biomass for Bioethanol Production: A Brief Review

  By Monika ., Seema Dahiya, Sneh Goyal

  Abstract: AbstractNowadays, lignocellulosic materials have gained increased interest in research and special importance because of their reproducible and abundant nature. A large amount of lignocellulosic biomass can potentially be converted into different high value products including value added fine chemicals, bio-fuels, and cheap energy sources, enzyme production and microbial fermentation. It is chiefly composed of cellulose, a linear glucose polymer, hemicellulose, highly branched heteropolymer, and lignin, a very high molecular weight …

  CRISPR-Cas System: Next Generation Genome Editing Tool

  By Monika ., Rahul Kumar Meena, Leela Wati

  Abstract: CRISPR-Cas system provides sequence specific adaptive immunity against phages and mobile genetic elements. Resistance is acquired following phage infection or plasmid uptake when short specific sequence is added into CRSIPR array. This complex guides cRNA to target complementary DNA fragments and target its degradation. CRISPR array is then transcribed and processed into cRNA which forms complex with cas protein. The ability of CRISPR-Cas system to induce site specific DNA breaks …
