CRISPR

What are genome editing and CRISPR-Cas9 ???

Genome editing (also called gene editing) is a technology that give scientists the ability to change an organism's DNA. These technologies allow genetic material to be added, removed, or altered at particular locations in the gene . Several approaches to genome editing have been developed.

A recent one is known as CRISPR-Cas9, (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) and CRISPR-associated protein 9. The CRISPR-Cas9 system has generated a lot of excitement in the scientific community because it is faster, cheaper, more accurate, and more efficient than other existing genome editing methods.

Until CRISPR , gene editing was too expensive and difficult to pull off. But a new technology called CRISPR is changing that. it shrinks the cost by 99% and takes a few weeks to do which is used to take years.

Scientists figured out that you can program CRISPR to edit live cells. In 2015, scientists used CRISPR to cut HIV out cells in mice. It might be just a matter of time until CRISPR therapy in humans cures HIV, viruses like Herpes, and thousands of genetic diseases like Hemophilia or Huntington’s Disease.

CRISPR can also be used to defeat cancer, with first clinical trials in humans approved in 2016.

CRISPR can and probably will be used to create designer babies, once the technology to edit human embryos becomes more robust. In turn, modified humans could alter the genome of our entire species once they start procreating, thus essentially making the next step in our evolution.

Once the first designer babies will be created to get rid of obvious genetic diseases, it might become unethical to not use gene editing. If you can cure someone, why wouldn’t you?

As genetic modification will become more accepted, we will start enhancing human characteristics like eye sight, height, muscular structure, intelligence and more.

Next, gene editing will take on aging. After all, it’s our biggest enemy. If genetic engineering could stop aging, would we argue against it?

It’s important to ask, as “playing God” promises all types of unpredictable trials and errors

Intelligent Apps

What are intelligent apps??? 

Application intelligence is the process of using machine learning technology to create apps that use historical and real-time data to make predictions and decisions to deliver rich, adaptive, personalized experiences for users.
You can see intelligent apps as application of AI and advance machine learning in the form of applications.
"According to Bill Schmarzo, the CTO of Dell EMC Services, apps that not only know how to support or enable key user decisions, but also continually learn from the user interactions to become even more relevant and valuable to those users, are known as intelligent apps". 

Intelligent apps can accomplish one or more of the following tasks: 

These apps can study our behavior and choices and thereby make contextual predictions.
They can differentiate between relevant and irrelevant information with the help of AI algorithms.
They can act as your personal assistant by being capable of getting necessary work done on time without bothering you with notification.
They would even act proactively, i.e., act on your behalf without waiting for you to take action.

some best examples of IA is -

     1 chat-bots(Fandango , Spotify)
   2 virtual assistants(Siri , Cortana)
   3 Ruuh (Facebook desi AI chatbot who never stop talking to you )
   4 ADA(An app who take care of health )

SpiderCam

What is Spidercam  ???

Spider cam is a system used for capturing incredible shots in sports .

 The spider cam is a system which enables film and television cameras to move in any direction without any movement from cameramen

 The spider cam moves in any direction either vertical or horizontal over a predetermined area  Typically in the playing field of sporting event such as cricket pitch, football field and tennis court etc. 

Simply spider cam is like a spider that can hang in Air in a predetermined area like a spider and broadcasts the picture in a arieal view 

Spidercam

Spider cam is a modeled after skycam

The spidercam Can operate with the four motorized winches positioned at each corner at the base of the covered area . The spider cam working can be simply understand by its parts
Spider cam has 3 units first is Dolly or a camera unit , Second is Pilot unit or control unit and third one is motorized winches
Dolly or a camera unit is a main which has the camera moving in air
The camera unit takes the high quality pictures and sends signal to control unit
Control unit or pilot section consists of main computer frame which receives video signals from the camera unit .The camera can be controlled by joystick by pilot in control unit .Commands from the control unit will be reached to camera by glass fiber(optical fibers are used to communicate or passing a command to the camera ) communication from pilot.

DevOps

What is DevOps??

DevOps is an software development strategy aimed to eliminate the Sila(reunite) between development and operations.  

or

A single group taking care of both development and operational task in an termed as devOps 

DevOps approach

 development+operation

DevOps Involves Continuous Development , continuous testing, continuous integration(is a software development practice where developers regularly merge their code changes into a central repository) , continuous deployment(means to add new things continuously or the action of bringing resources into effective action.) and continuous. monitoring.

DevOps culture is talking about:

1. Engineers empowerment - by giving engineers more responsibility over the whole application lifecycle process. (development -> test -> deploy -> monitor -> be on call)
2. Test Driven Development - write tests before you write code. Unit tests, integration tests, system tests. This will help increase the quality of your service and give you more confidence to release faster and more frequent.
3. Automation - automate everything that can be automated. Test automation, infrastructure automation (infrastructure as a code), deployment automation, etc..
4. Monitoring - monitor your apps, build monitoring alerts well. It should save your time, don't flood with metrics and alerts.
5. Self service - provide a self service for any framework that you build or anything that you do.

Benefits of devOps

1.  Faster in speed as it has shorter software development cycle.

2.  Rapid Delivery also improved quality of software produced

3.  Reliability- as it has continuous integration and development

4.  Scale -Operate and manage your infrastructure and development processes at scale

5.  Improved Collaboration and work environment.

some DevOps tools -;

git                                                                       chef

docker                                                                puppet

companies using it-

Facebook

amazon

What is RPA (Robotics Process Automation)

What is robotic process automation or RPA ???

RPA is an application of technology aimed at automating business processes. Using RPA tools, a company can configure software, or a “robot,” to capture and interpret applications for processing a transaction, manipulating data, triggering responses and communicating with other digital systems,

There are many benefits to use RPA

1. No code required, only     drag and drop feature       used

2. Automate repetitive task

3. Cost saving(cost           effective)

4. Feature of scalability     which add more robots       when needed

5. Improve customer experience.

Some popular tools used for RPA

1. blueprism

2. Uipath

3. Automation           anywhere

Some popular companies which uses RPA

1.Intel

2.DELL
3.IBM
4.Deloitte
