Jamaican Creole Goes Web: Sociolinguistic styling and authenticity in a digital ‘Yaad’. By Andrea Moll

The Prosodic Morphology of Jamaican Creole Iteratives1

The input of a reduplicative word formation process in Jamaican Creole (JC) is restricted prosodically. In this paper, the prosodic restrictions are analyzed in terms of constraints that are generally operative in JC prosody. The study therefore provides empirical support for the Prosodic Morphology Hypothesis of McCarthy & Prince 1986. Investigation of the constraints operative in JC prosody l...

Transcription goes digital.

Transcription is a complex process that integrates the state of the cell and its environment to generate adequate responses for cell fitness and survival. Recent microscopy experiments have been able to monitor transcription from single genes in individual cells. These observations have revealed two striking features: transcriptional activity can vary markedly from one cell to another, and is s...

Biology Goes Digital

Central Dogma Goes Digital.

In this issue of Molecular Cell, Tay and colleagues (Albayrak et al., 2016) describe a new technique to digitally quantify the numbers of protein and mRNA in the same mammalian cell, providing a new way to look at the central dogma of molecular biology.
