This review contains an overview of current capture methodologies and the primary literature on hybridization capture as evaluated for forensic applications.Species identification of non-human biological evidence through DNA nucleotide sequencing is routinely used for forensic genetic analysis to support law enforcement. The gold standard for forensic genetics is conventional Sanger sequencing; however, this is gradually being replaced by high-throughput sequencing (HTS) approaches which can generate millions of individual reads in a single experiment. HTS sequencing, which now dominates molecular biology research, has already been demonstrated for use in a number of forensic genetic analysis applications, including species identification. However, the generation of HTS data to date requires expensive equipment and is cost-effective only when large numbers of samples are analysed simultaneously. The Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) MinION™ is an affordable and small footprint DNA sequencing device with the potential to quickly deliver reliable and cost effective data. However, there has been no formal validation of forensic species identification using high-thriesID pipeline can produce consensus DNA sequences of sufficient accuracy for forensic genetic species identification.It has been reported that mutations in CDH1 gene are associated with genetic susceptibility to colon, stomach, breast and prostate cancers. Here, an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line from a patient with double primary gastric and colon carcinoma carrying germline mutation (c. 1679C > G) in CDH1 gene was generated. The iPSC line had normal karyotype, expressed pluripotent markers and had ability to generate three germ layers.A new mesoporous Ag/ZnO@NiFe2O4 nanorod was prepared by a facile, low-cost, and environmentally friendly strategy from a bimetallic Fe2Ni-MIL-88 metal organic framework (MOF), as an effective catalyst and peroxymonosulfate (PMS) photo-activator. The structural, morphological, optical, and magnetic properties, as well as the material composition were investigated by XRD, FE-SEM, EDX, HR-TEM, XPS, DRS, PL, EIS, VSM, N2 adsorption-desorption and ICP-AES analysis. 1.0% w/w loading of Ag nanoparticles on ZnO0.04@NiFe2O4 led to the best catalytic activity for PMS activation under UVA in acetaminophen (ACT) degradation. The maximum degradation efficiency for ACT was 100% within 15 min (at pH = 7.0), with a first-order rate constant of 0.368 min-1. The calculated quantum yield (1.3 × 10-3 molecule/photon) of the optimum catalyst was 2.05, and 5.63 times higher than its simple constituents, ZnO0.04@NiFe2O4 and NiFe2O4, respectively. Among the various inorganic ions, Cl- and HCO3- showed significant inhibition effect in 1.0%w/w Ag/ZnO0.04@NiFe2O4/PMS/UVA system, due to radical quenching effects. Based on scavenger experiments, HO• and SO4•- were the dominant reactive species in photocatalytic process coupled with PMS. Due to presence of the Fe3+/Fe2+, and Ni2+/Ni3+ reaction cycles in the as-made catalyst, the reaction rate of PMS activation was greatly enhanced. Moreover, the formation of a hetero-junction structure with NiFe2O4 and ZnO promoted the charge separation of the photo-generated electron/hole pairs. Finally, the major intermediates produced during the reaction were detected by LC-MS analysis, and a plausible mechanism for the photocatalytic degradation of ACT was proposed and discussed in detail.Adsorption of Pb(II) ions in aqueous systems by newly developed mixed biomass has been explored. Mixed biomass was prepared from agro-waste (raw Banyan tree bark, RBTB) and bacterial biomass (Pannonibacter phragmitetus). Smad signaling Chemical modification by sulphuric acid treatment of raw banyan tree bark (SMBTB) was accomplished for the effective separation of toxic Pb(II) ions from the aquatic system. FTIR, SEM and EDX analysis was utilized to deduce sorption characteristics of mixed biomass. Pb(II) ions maximal removal has occurred at pH-6.0, lead (II) ions concentration-25 mg/L, time and mixed biomass dosage (60 min and 3.5 g/L for RBTB - Pannonibacter phragmitetus; 30 min and 1.5 g/L for SMBTB - Pannonibacter phragmitetus) and temperature (30 °C). Data from equilibrium isotherm and kinetic analysis was best suited to the Langmuir model and pseudo-first-order kinetics. The spontaneous and exothermic nature of Pb(II) ions removal was described by thermodynamic parameters. The mixed biomass proved to be an effective and potential mixed biosorbent for toxic lead removal from solutions.Plastic plays a major role in today's human life; moreover, it becomes a part of our life, yet it is a most challenging threat for the freshwater ecosystems in the future. The present study identifies, characterizes, and quantifies the microplastics in groundwater samples around Perungudi and Kodungaiyur municipal solid waste dumpsites in South India. To evaluate and assess the microplastic abundance, characteristics (composite, size, colour, shape, and surface morphology), detection methods of plastic particles, and potential risk factors from the absorption of microplastic in groundwater. Further, the microplastic particle classification was performed using LB-340 Zoom Stereo Microscope with LED Illumination, ATR-FTIR fitted with SEM with EDX analyzer. The groundwater samples (n = 20) were found contaminated with microplastic particles in the range of 2-80 items/L with coloured particles, white (38%), black (27%), green (8%), red (18%), blue (6%), and yellow (2%). The polymer type was found to occur in the following order nylon (70%), pellets (18%), foam (6%), fragments (3%), fibers/PVC (2%), and polythene (1%). In both sampling sites, 90% of microplastics are derived from the buried plastics and waste fragmentation which are predominantly of polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS). Micro and nano plastics abundance in groundwater is of paramount importance as it has a major impact on human health. This study throws light on the characteristics and quantification of the microplastics in groundwater that initiates further research by which microplastics enter into the environment.
