Anniversary limelight chat

Dear All,

Looking beyond the year 2020, How would you think that the world of life science research be? (or rather you want to vision). Please opine considering the present scenario in genomics, biotechnology, nanotechnology etcetera. The best article would be redeemed with a gift.

Yours in Biospot

Celebrating one year

Since its inception, Biospot has had an opportunity to hear the opinions of few researchers in life sciences on more than 12 topics. The aim of Biospot is as simple as an adaption of Immanuel Kant's quotes :

Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life.

Biospot hopes you would join this great life science world reach past success through your opinions.

Thank you for your attention

Open Source : Do you vote for?

Open source is a way of retrieving, finding and applying the presentations, books and publications on a free/semi-free basis without any cost. Do you think that we need to pay amount for publications? Or should we go for open source? Leave your comments..

A hype or hope?
Comment on interface with nutrition, green revolution, generation and technology

The DNA revolution??? What and hows??

What and how could it be if today the instructions for life, is written with five letters. As there is an ongoing research for 5th base in DNA, what and how do you augment this? Keep in view the evolution, adaption and the enzymes involved within DNA.
What and How if DNA changes?

Are we missing something???

Are we missing something??
Dear All,
With the new frameset for number of genes in Homo sapiens, there has been consistent debate on it till(in ??)recent past. But the question is are we missing something from these numbers of genes???. Now there are other sequencing being done like chicken, dog etcetera. Comment !!!!!

1st December is observed as World AIDS day. As a researcher what is your strategy for AIDS FREE ATMOSPHERE? What are the amendments you would like to see? Sketch your views please.

Magnanimity of Indian scientists.. deserve nobel prize??

DO YOU THINK THAT INDIAN SCIENTISTS deserve NOBEL PRIZE IN THE NEAR FUTURE?? Showcause your views based on the intelligentsia and magnanimity of Indian scientists in the area of MOLECULAR LIFE SCIENCES. ALSO, it would be appreciated if you could substantiate it with the recent NOBLE PRIZE AWARDS

???Your first action, if you were a head of a laborant

The next topic in biospot would be
What is your first action, if you were a head of a laborant or life sciences research in the world??? COMMENT !!!!!

ethical aspects of patenting genes and stem cells.. boon or bane??

Dear Bio commune,
The next topic, SHOULD BE

Is it a boon or bane on ethical aspects of patenting genes and stem cells?

Looking forward to hear from you,

Prash

Large Introns in Human genome why???

WHAT MIGHT BE THE REASON FOR LARGE INTRONS IN THE HUMAN GENOME?

POST YOUR VIEWS !!!!!

Welcome to biospot!!

Dear Scientific Commune,

Iam really glad to start this new discussion forum named biospot. I suppose this would be a fruitful event in sharing our thoughts and ideas. Lets all feel free to share our ideas. All the comments on this site shall be automatically be posted. And you may feel free to opine on the given topic. Any new topics to be discussed could also be rendered.

It is appreciated if you could also please post your entire contact address, phone and importantly your email address at the end of your opinion.

This discussion will be redeemed every fortnight., which means once the topic is hosted, a new topic will be introduced once in 15 days. The topics would be on the latest discoveries, inventions and also on the innovative research in Biology.

It would be nice if you could be a part of this discussion group and pass it on to your scientific dudes and elite BIO society

Suggestions are at most welcome. You may reach the suggestion box at prashbio@yahoo.com.
