      The manuscript describes the synthesis of the organic ligand L-cysteine ethyl ester hydrochloride (LEEH) capped HgTe NPs and the UV absorption and emission of these NPs. The hydrophilic surface passivating LEEH agent makes the biologically harmful NPs biocompatible, which is significally meaningful in the medical application.

  • Contaminating insert degradation by preincubation colony PCR: A method for avoiding false positives in transformant screening

      Colony PCR is an easy technique for quick screening of transformants and hence is used in many recombinant laboratories. However the major disadvantage is occurence of false positives. Though efforts have been done before to address this problem, but solution limits this technique by mandatory requirement of flanking vector oligos, which many a times is not possible. This work imparts universatility by removing this limitation and provides a quick method devoid of false positives for any cloning vector.

      As the title suggests, the paper presents a fast and cost effective method for degrading contaminating insert for transformant screening. Surely, a useful advancement for any molecular biology lab.

      This paper, besides being explicitly written, is also the first report on evolution of opportunistic mycobacterium which are the leading cause of death among immune compromised hosts including HIV patients.
