The BETACONNECT™ system: MS therapy goes digital

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.

Folk Music in India Goes Digital

Folk music forms in India are rich and diverse, varying from region to region across the Indian landscape. The recent explosion of new media technologies (e.g. DVDs, CDs, mobile phones) in both rural and urban India is changing how oral folk music is being performed, produced, distributed, and shared. To further understand this impact, we conducted an extended field study across four field site...

Open Hyperdocument System Goes Mobile

An Open Hyperdocument System (OHS) is a standard-based, open source framework for the creation and maintenance of Dynamic Knowledge Repositories (DKR). The HyperScope is a first stage OHS that can be used to browse and comment OHS files. This paper takes a look at how well OHS and HyperScope could be utilized through mobile devices. This is done by comparing the essential elements of OHS and th...
