Is Covid Really Over??? A particularly contagious and deadly subvariant of the coronavirus delta mutant is spreading in Ukraine, the Institute of Molecular Biology and Genetics of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences announced on Friday.

The AY.122 version, which is mainly widespread in Russia, has already been identified in seven counties in Ukraine. According to the announcement, the researchers identified 12 different variants of the delta mutant in samples obtained from a public health center under the Ministry of Health in Ukraine.

And their spectrum is different from those that spread in the country in November.

The experts added. According to them, the delta AY.122 subvariant, which is currently actively spreading in Russia, has appeared as a new variant in Ukraine. This subvariant is more contagious than other variants of the delta and causes serious complications, in many cases leading to death, scientists said. It was also suggested that this sub-variant is responsible for the high mortality rate in Ukraine.

What is Molecular Genetics Like? And does it look bad if you switch from your intended Major?

Hello! I'm a senior in HS currently and I applied to OSU EA since I've wanted to go here for a pretty long time (Northeast Ohio resident)

When I submitted my application, I put down History as my intended Major, but recently after taking a class in HS about Genetics I've really come to love it, and I found a lot of opportunities with mixing Genetics and my intended plan of going to Law School.

I was just wondering if some people who know the major could tell me a bit about it in terms of difficulty. I've always enjoyed Science but I never focused on it in High School until it was too late so I don't have much in the way of prep. I just don't want to be like my older brother who had a dream major but then had to switch because he had a professor who was horrible (Not at OSU, he got denied from OSU)

Also, does it look bad if I get in OSU in a major like history that I applied to and then transfer to something smaller and more focused? I'm not exactly the best HS student (3.5 GPA) but I've genuinely found an interest in this subject an OSU is one of the only schools around that actually has it

Can someone recommend a good book on bacterial genetics & molecular biology?

I'm starting a new phase of my PhD soon, and am feeling very under-prepared with respect to my general bacteriology knowledge. I was recommended to read up on basic bacterial genetics and molecular biology.

All the textbooks which I am familiar with from my past (Molecular Biology of the Cell etc,) rarely go in depth on the bacteria side of things. I really want a text which focusses solely on bacteria, and nothing else.

Clinical Genetic Technologists CSMLS registration for UK Molecular Genetics MSc

Hi,

Sorry I bet everyone on this sub is sick of CSMLS questions. But basically, I'm immigrating to Canada (hopefully Alberta) in 2023 from the UK and I want to work as a clinical geneticist. I have a Masters degree in Molecular Genetics which covers most of the science-y side of the CSMLS exam, and I am competent at most molecular genetics techniques. I'd need to read up on your lab safety and QC stuff etc if I sat the exam.

However, my question is, do I need lab experience from outside of my degree in order to apply for the PLA and sit the exam? The CSMLS website shows that Canadian graduates from an approved degree (which seem very similar to mine) can sit the exam straight away.

Thanks for any help!

[DC comics] How are Martians not one of if not The strongest race or at least more powerful than Kryptonians? how exactly do you even kill them if they can change thier body's completely on a molecular and genetic level and wholly shape-shiftt their bodies to the point where internal anatomy

shouldn't matter to them and they should simply be able to regenerate anything and everything from decapitation to bifurcation and they shouldn't have any weakness especially not to fire or heat if they simply make their cells heat resistant and they should be able to copy thr biological abilities of other species like Kryptonians.

and thsts ontop of already been about average Kryptonian level in strength plus all their different psychic abilities and their own version of laser eye beams , Martians are like Kryptonians plus and don't need anything else powering them. they always have these powers so why are they seen as weaker than Kryptonians?

Molecular Biology/Genetics PhD employment

I'll try to make this short. I am currently a freshmen undergrad majoring with a BSc in Biology and my original plan after graduation was to go into one of the PhD's above. But after some reading online I'm worried if this path is a good idea exactly. I've read that going into academia is a terrible idea but that there are jobs in industry. Going into biotech sounds cool to me, but how exactly do you even get into it? Are these the best degrees to go into it and are there specific universities I should be looking at? I know I still have a ways to go but I want to be prepared and don't want to waste my life.

Are there any current MSc/PhD's that could speak about the molecular genetics graduate program and their experience? Do you enjoy the program and class work? Are your peers collaborative? Is the rotation year worth adding another year to the degree? Did you get into a lab related to your interests? Any idea about the competitiveness or actual requirements for a direct entry PhD? What kind of grades/research experience did you have prior to applying?

This is my top choice for graduate school and I'm looking to apply for the January deadline to start in September of 2022!

Should I apply for M.Sc Immunology in Amity University or M.Sc Molecular Biology and Human Genetics in Manipal University? Which is better with regards to teaching, placements and lab facilities?

My_qualifications are BSc_Zoo Biochemistry (Third Year) I passed my SSC with 91% and scored 71% in HSC.

I am planning a career in biological research and the above 2 courses are the at the top of my list. I am confused between the above 2. I tried contacting alumni from the above universities but no response as of yet. I have no idea how those universities are. While the course structure and syllabus is really great on paper.

The reason I'm confused is while the course in Amity is highly specialized,the one in Manipal(MSLS) offers a wide field in case I want a PHD in future.I am also confused about the placements in case I am forced to take up a job after Masters immediately.

Which University will have better facilities and opportunities with regards to teaching, placement and research? Are the courses really worth it? EDIT: Paragraph no.3

How would you compare bioinformatics research -omics, systems biology, and protein modeling to the same research in traditional routes of genetics / biochemistry / molecular biology?

Is the answer as obvious as I think it is (both bioinformatician / biologists are asking the same questions, but one is more experimental and one is more computational)? I feel like the distinction between bioinformatician and geneticist / biochemistry / molecular biologist isn't so clear-cut.

For one, I feel like the latter fields, can have more interests in applications (due to the nature of experimental work), whereas bioinformaticians are sheerly focused on modeling, classification, etc..

An example of what I mean might be for drug discovery. I feel like bioinformaticians aren't too interest in development of a drug, but more interested in applying frameworks that more experimental biologists can use.

What can I do with a master's degree in Genetics and Molecular Biology?

I'll graduate next year. I used to be sure I'd get a PhD and go into research, but I'm hesitating because many people have told me about the horrible work-life balance.

I'm not interested in bioinformatics or teaching/sales/any extremely social jobs.

I like working in a lab, but most interesting job advertisements I've seen ask for trade school education, not university. Or they require a PhD, post-doc, or even medical school. I guess I should send open applications to companies, but I'm very confused because how can I apply for a job when I don't know what it is or whether my skills are suitable for it?

I have just 9 months of experience with lab work (thesis + a summer job).

Are there any options left for me? πŸ˜… Sorry if this is a very basic question, but I feel depressed and it's really difficult for me to plan my future, so I thought I'd ask here.
