Understanding The Molecular Basis Of Trinucleotide Repeat Expansion Diseases

DNA is the genetic material that codes the 'Secret of Life' in most living organisms. The central thesis of molecular biology is that information present on DNA is transcribed into an RNA intermediate and ultimately gets translated into a protein message. This research discusses the genetic basis of the CAG/CTG trinucleotide repeat expansion disease.

Critical Role Of ICT In The New Global Economy

Conventional wisdom could dismiss the role of information & communications technologies, globally known as ICT, as simply being a support function or tool for any public/private enterprise and consumers … unless you view from the lenses of global economic changes that are shaping our lives at home, at work and on the road.

Mosquitoes Inspire Painless Blood Collection Method

Diabetics may soon have the mosquito to thank for alleviating some of their pain as NC State researcher Dr. M.K. Ramasubramanian is working towards developing a painless blood collection method based on their blood-sucking prowess.

Portable Audio Players

The iPod. A trendsetter, a fashion statement, a marvel of technology or as Steve Jobs puts it, a cultural phenomenon. How did Apple finally get it right, leave the competition miles behind and create, probably the most successful consumer electronics product ever?

Nanotechnology Advances The State-of-Art In Gas Sensing

Carbon nanotube (10-9 m in diameter and several micro-meters in length) arrays are being developed as device electrodes for new chemical sensor technologies.

Gas cluster ion beam smoothing appears to be a viable process for improving the surface quality of electronic grade SiC to a surface roughness of Ra as low as 3.8 Ã… while removing the polishing scratches.

Systems Biology

A hallmark of systems biology is the use of quantitative frameworks to describe the non-linear interactions occurring at the molecular, cellular, and higher biological levels. One example is to to integrate genomic, proteomic, and metabolomic data to develop models of various pathogens, ranging from viruses to bacteria.
