Genome sequencing: mind the gap

Genome sequencing: mind the gap

The year 2000 is poised to be declared the ‘Year of the Genome’. The sequences of human chromosomes 21 and 22 have been published in the past six months, and two further landmark announcements are expected within days — indeed, may even have been made by the time you read this. Scientists of the Human Genome Project are on the verge of announcing completion of a “rough draft” of the human genom...

“Mind the Gap” in Reporting the Outdated Statistics

Mind the (Intelligibility) Gap

Intelligibility, evolution and emulation are some of the key notions for digital information preservation. In this paper we define formally these notions on the basis of modules and inter-module dependencies. Subsequently, we discuss how we can handle the evolution of modules and dependencies. This work can be exploited for building advanced preservation information systems and registries.

Mind the Gap!

In 1835, the French naturalist Felix Dujardin started crushing ciliates under the microscope and observed that the tiny cells exuded a jellylike, water-insoluble substance, which he described as a ‘‘gelée vivante’’ and which was eventually christened ‘‘protoplasm’’ by the physician Johann E. Purkinje and the botanist Hugo von Mohl. Fifty years after Dujardin’s observations, the possibility that...

Mind the Gap

Intraband-gap states in conjugated polymers have captivated the chemistry community for the better part of five decades due to their position within the forbidden band gap, between the valence and conduction bands. In a large part, this fascination was (and still is) aided by the quest to find alternative materials that are easily processable compared to their solid-state semiconductor counterp...
