Hello :) If you have finished studying cell cycle and mitosis, start meiosis with this video At the end of it, compare meiosis and mitosis. How are they fundamentally different? Reflect back on Cell cycle and remember what M stands for. Questions? Feedback? Comment below!

Hello Started studying Cell biology? Cell cycle is an important concept. Do this before mitosis and meiosis. Remember the stages of the cell cycle and their significance. Questions? Feedback? Comment below! :) Prepare well

Hello! How is your GATE prep coming along? Here is a video on Signal Transduction basics Questions? Suggestions? Feedback? Comment Below! :) Ciao

Hello GATE Aspirants How is your preparation coming along? Here is a video on previous years questions from Bioinformatics for you to get a feel for the kind of questions in GATE from Bioinformatics portion. Have a question? Comment below!

Dear Bioinformatics Neophyte If you have visited my previous post on historical milestones in bioinformatics, you probably have a fair idea about the interdisciplinary nature of bioinformatics and you are wondering what now? The next step is to become familiar with the resources and tools in bioinformatics, for which I made this video . By the end of this video, you will know what are resources, and what are tools. To be more familiar with the concept of databases and various biological databases, visit this post . Ciao!

How is your preparation for GATE coming along? Molecular Basis of Genetic Diseases is a small topic, which you can quickly finish and test yourself. 7 videos coming up... Start here! 1. Overview of the topic and course plan  2. Important Definitions 3. Autosomal Dominant Inherited Diseases 4. Autosomal Recessive Inherited Diseases  5. X-linked Dominant Disorders  6. X-linked Recessive Disorders 7. Y-linked diseases and mitochondrial diseases This is a small and easy topic so finish this quickly and feel confident about getting something done :) Practice makes perfect. Solve as many MCQs as you can and be confident! Cheers! 

Hello :) This September, I have made the Cell Biology course in Hindi Here are the links :) 1. Overview and Introduction 2. Size of Cells and Microscopy 3. Plant and Animal Cells 4. Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes 5. Plasma Membrane The same course in English can be found here I'm making a couple of more courses this month and adding a few more lessons to the Cell Biology course. Be sure to watch them on Unacademy :) Wanna jump straight to solving previous years questions? Check them out here and here Ciao!!

Good morning :) I have started making videos on Unacademy for GATE-Biotechnology. If you are preparing for GATE, do check out my videos on Unacademy Visit my older post for other resources you can use to study for GATE - Biotechnology :)

Hi there ! I have not been able to blog because I have been busy. I started making videos on Unacademy. When I was introduced to Bioinformatics in my 5th semester of B.E. Biotechnology, I found it tough. In my videos, I have tried to make it simple, without oversimplifying it.

A few weeks ago, I received an email from a student of my alma mater, PESIT (now PESU ) asking me about GATE-BT or XL exam preparation. I decided to list online study resources here. I write this article keeping in mind BE/BTech students aspiring for higher studies (especially PhD) in India. I hope this collection of resources will be useful for GATE (BT or XL), CSIR-UGC-NET, DBT-JRF, ICMR-JRF, JNU-CBEE and aspirants of other competitive exams for higher studies in life sciences. 1.
