Cover Letter:

Respected Ma’am/Sir,
My name is Aswathy K.M., I recently graduated with my Master’s in Biotechnology from Kerala University of Fisheries and Ocean Studies in the year 2024. As a part of my thesis, I have experience working with tuber crops, their cultivation, harvest, and molecular work.
My confidence in my laboratory skills – microscopy, microbial culture, water quality test, PCR, gel electrophoresis, bioinformatics.

During my project at ICAR- Central Tuber Crops Research Institute, Sreekariyam
· Learn to extract DNA with standardizing new protocol.
· PCR with different molecular markers
· Work as a team and as well as an individual
· Have experience using centrifuge, PCR, Electrophoresis, Gel Doc
· Techniques DNA extraction and isolation, agarose gel electrophoresis, gel documentation, sequencing, PCR standardization for each marker.
I’ve attached my resume. hoping for a favourable reply.
Sincerely,
Aswathy K M
