Recombinant DNA: Watch on human experiments

Introductory experiments in recombinant DNA.

Nine practical exercises demonstrate the basic principles in recombinant DNA. The exercises explain the principles that DNA equals genes and that changes in DNA cause changes in genetic properties. The aim is to provide a teaching resource that can be used to illustrate the theory and applications of molecular biology to highschool students, undergraduate students, medics, dentists, doctors, nu...

Rad53 keeps watch over mitochondrial DNA

E dgerton-Morgan and Oakley reveal that ␥-tubulin promotes cells' entry into S phase by controlling the localization of a key cell cycle regulator. ␥-Tubulin is best known for nucleating microtubules at micro-tubule-organizing centers such as centrosomes or fungal spindle pole bodies, but ␥-tubulin also regulates the cell cycle. Aspergillus nidulans strains expressing the ␥-tubulin mutant mipA-...

Watch What I Watch

This paper presents a high-level overview of Yahoo Research Berkeley’s approach to multimedia research and the ideas motivating it. This approach is characterized primarily by a shift away from building subsystems that attempt to discover or understand the “meaning” of media content toward systems and algorithms that can usefully utilize information about how media content is being used in spec...

On the Watch

In this paper we describe the benefits of vision for autonomous vehicles in a concrete real-world setup. The autonomous vehicles, implemented in the form of small robots, have to face two basic tasks. First, they have to do autonomous recharging. Second, they are required to do some “work” which is “paid” in energy. We present a way to let the robots solve these tasks with basic sensors. In doi...
