Eggshell as Calcium Supplement Tablet
Abstract: Hen eggs are very nutritious food items but their shells are discarded as wastes from different sources like hotels, houses etc. In this study these discarded eggshells were collected. They were processed and a powder was obtained in final stage. This eggshell finds applications in many fields due to its rich calcium content and here it was used as a calcium supplement for females. Calcium extracted from different eggshells was …

Transgenic Animals
Abstract: A transgenic animal is one that carries a foreign gene that has been deliberately inserted into its genome. The foreign gene is constructed using recombinant DNA methodology. In addition to the gene itself, the DNA usually includes other sequences to enable it to be incorporated into the DNA of the host as well as to be expressed correctly by the cells of the host.

Probiotics
Abstract: Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that are good for health, especially digestive system. Usually bacteria are thought of as something that causes diseases. But our body is full of bacteria, both good and bad. Probiotics are often called "good" or "helpful" bacteria because they help keep our gut healthy. Thus, probiotics are live microorganisms that may be able to help prevent and treat some illnesses. Promoting a healthy digestive …

Cryopreservation
Abstract: Cryopreservation depends on the capacity of certain molecules to enter cells and avert drying out and arrangement of intracellular crystals, which can bring about cell death and annihilation of cell organelles amid the solidifying procedure. Two basic cryoprotective operators are dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and glycerol. Glycerol is utilized fundamentally for cryoprotection of red platelets, and DMSO is utilized for assurance of most different cells and tissues. A sugar called trehalose, …

Gene Cloning
Abstract: Gene cloning (DNA cloning) is a technique used for the generation of precise (clones) of a specific quality or DNA sequence utilizing genetic engineering techniques. The DNA containing the target gene(s) is cut into sections utilizing restriction enzymes. These sections are then embedded into cloning vectors, for example, bacterial plasmids or bacteriophages, which exchange the recombinant DNA to reasonable host cells, for example, the bacterium E. coli. On the other …
