CANDIDATE:  MD AFSAR ALI   ABSTRACT: Biofilms are collections of microbes attached to either a smooth or a rough surface. Within biofilms, bacteria interact with each other using a signalling communication method known as quorum sensing, which enables bacteria to execute gene-expression.

Title:  New Insight into the Role of Intangible Heterogeneity of Gene Effects on Survival Time of Patients with Ovarian Cancer:  A statistical method for variable selection in finite mixture of survival models Abstract:

Title: Wheat gene annotations via comparative genomics: challenges and solutions Abstract: While the gargantuan multi-nation effort of sequencing wheat gets close to completion, the annotation process for the vast number of wheat genes and proteins is in its infancy. Previous experimental studies carried out on model plant organisms such as Arabidopsis and rice provide a plethora of gene annotations that can be used as potential starting points for wheat gene annotations, proven that solid cross-species gene-to-gene and protein-to-protein correspondences are provided.
