Which films are you looking forward to?

A look at film releases affected by coronavirus.

Reliance Entertainment will release its pending films -- Rohit Shetty's Sooryavanshi and Kabir Khan's '83 -- only in theatres.

The current COVID-19 pandemic, which started in Wuhan, China, underscores what the public health community has warned about for more than two decades—the risk of viral diseases capable of spreading from animal to human hosts. The first outbreaks of “bird flu” (highly pathogenic avian influenza—HPAI, subtype H5N1)—raised similar concerns 20 years ago, concerns that have persisted with the outbreak of SARS in 2002–2004 and COVID-19 today. A recent study compared information on infrastructure and other aspects of economic development in Vietnam with outbreaks of avian influenza. While this research focuses on avian influenza in Vietnam, the study of links between infrastructure characteristics and new and reemerging health risks has broad applicability, especially given the global importance of today’s rapidly expanding urban landscapes.

As per convention, the government releases GST revenue collection number on the basis of cash collection in a particular month. However, with the situation arising out of COVID-19, the government has decided to wait till the extended deadline for filing returns before release of the collection figure.

The regulator has also eased compliance norms with regards to grandfathering of the existing unlisted NCDs, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) said in a circular.

According to an analysis of the data made public by mutual funds, the CEO salary given by the top 12 fund houses in terms of assets under management increased in the range of 2-132 per cent in 2019-20 from the preceding fiscal year.

After successfully hatching critically endangered Batagur turtles in captivity, officials at the Sunderbans Tiger Reserve (STR) would release a batch of the hatchlings in the Sunderbans mid-2014.

Rahul Sinha said the victory is indication of the huge wave that would soon follow.

Several rights activists and organisations also asked Ganguly to step down.

Despite the Wholesale and retail Inflation moving in opposite directions, the government today exuded confidence that the headline Wholesale Price Index (WPI) based inflation will ease to the range of 6.2% to 6.6% in March 2013, primarily on the ...

Government should work towards easing "regulatory and bureaucratic impediments" to improve investment climate in the country, suggested the Economic Survey for 2012-13.

There is a shortage of food across the world and experts are trying to come up with ways in which the shortfall in supplies can be made up.

Tomato and capsicum growers of Himachal Pradesh have lost some 40 to 60 per cent of their yield to fungal diseases so...

Earlier, sanitation of the field by removal and destruction of affected papaya plants was the only way adopted by the farmers to reduce the spread of the papaya mosaic virus disease. In some cases, losses were minimised by controlling the population of aphids.

The strawberry crop grown over hundreds of acres in Jammu is threatened by widespread fungal attacks.

Forest Research Institute, Dehradun, is for the past one year, trying to find a way to control the gall disease that has affected almost 50 per cent of the eucalyptus trees.

A locally funded Puerto Rican parrot (Amazona vittata) genome sequencing project increases avian data and advances young researcher education Oleksyk, Taras K.; Pombert, Jean-Francois; Siu, Daniel; Mazo-Vargas, Anyimilehidi; Ramos, Brian; Guiblet, Wilfried; Afanador, Yashira; Ruiz-Rodriguez, Christina T.; Nickerson, Michael L.; Logue, David M.; Dean, Michael; Figueroa, Luis; Valentin, Ricardo; Martinez-Cruzado, Juan-Carlos Background: Amazona vittata is a critically endangered Puerto Rican endemic bird, the only surviving native parrot species in the United States territory, and the first parrot in the large Neotropical genus Amazona, to be studied on a genomic scale. Findings: In a unique community-based funded project, DNA from an A. vittata female was sequenced using a HiSeq Illumina platform, resulting in a total of ~42.5 billion nucleotide bases. This provided approximately 26.89x average coverage depth at the completion of this funding phase. Filtering followed by assembly resulted in 259,423 contigs (N50=6,983 bp, longest=75,003 bp), which was further scaffolded into 148,255 fragments (N50=19,470, longest=206,462 bp). This provided ~76% coverage of the genome based on an estimated size of 1.58 Gb. The assembled scaffolds allowed basic genomic annotation and comparative analyses with other available avian whole-genome sequences. Conclusions: The current data represents the first genomic information from and work carried out with a unique source of funding. This analysis further provides a means for directed training of young researchers in genetic and bioinformatics analyses and will facilitate progress towards a full assembly and annotation of the Puerto Rican parrot genome. It also adds extensive genomic data to a new branch of the avian tree, making it useful for comparative analyses with other avian species. Ultimately, the knowledge acquired from these data will contribute to an improved understanding of the overall population health of this species and aid in ongoing and future conservation efforts.
