Biography

Umair Masood from Biotechnology Department of COMSATS University, Abbottabad has won Young Scientist Award in Australia during a Conference on Molecular Biology, awarded by an International Research Institute; Labroots. He’s the student of BS 4th semester in Biotechnology department, and pursuing his research work at home. His fellow students aren’t allowed to use lab for experimentation. The story of Umair’s journey is quite different in its nature. He failed to secure admission in any university after passing intermediate exam, due to low grades in Matric and Intermediate.

    Mutation Detection via CRISPRCas9 Micro-fluid Chip
    Author(s): Umair Masood*

    In biology mutation is a change in the nucleotide sequences of the DNA of an organism mainly there are three types of mutation: point mutation, deletion and insertions. Once the mutation has been defined allele specific oligonucleotide hybridization, amplification, heteroduplex formation method referred to as a diagnostic method some advance technique like CRISPR cas9 system is using for selected mutagenesis. Using microfluid and CRISPR cas9 system we can detect a mutation. Let's say you have a DNA sample with fluorescent labeled from patient and you want to make sure that gene you are interested is in healthy gene. We can design a CRISPR to scan through DNA or find specific gene or mutation. The CRISPR scan the DNA if the CRISPR does not find targeted gene it does not bind to it its means that no fluorescence color appears under UV-light but its scan and find its target and this ..
