Building A Human Kinase Gene Repository
Using the human genome sequence annotation, high-throughput cloning methodologies, and automation, a group at the Harvard Institute of Proteomics lead by Leonardo Brizuela (Harvard Medical School lecturer on biological chemistry and molecular pharmacology) mined public databases to collect the sequence information of all identified human kinase genes and have built a gene repository for this gene class. Fried Food And Fatter Kids
New research shows that adolescents who eat large amounts of fried food away from home are heavier and more likely to have a poor-quality diet. Among 14,355 children surveyed, researchers from the Department of Ambulatory Care and Prevention (at Harvard Medical School and Harvard Pilgrim Health Care) found that 9 to 14 year olds who increased their consumption of fried food away from home over the course of a year gained weight above the normal rate. Think Away the Pain
A new technique helps patients significantly reduce pain simply by concentrating. Researchers hope this will soon be an option for people suffering from intractable pain. By Rachel Metz. Know a Good Business Ethicist?
In the wake of sweatshop charges, Apple advertises for a manager of a Corporate Social Responsibility program, to help improve human rights and worker conditions. In Cult of Mac. Synthetic Biology? Memory In Yeast Cells Synthesized
Researchers have successfully synthesized a DNA-based memory loop in yeast cells, findings that mark a significant step forward in the emerging field of synthetic biology. After constructing genes from random bits of DNA, researchers not only reconstructed the dynamics of memory, but also created a mathematical model that predicted how such a memory "device"might work.

Phonics, Whole-word And Whole-language Processes Add Up To Determine R
Reading specialists have often pitted phonics against holistic word recognition and whole language approaches in the war over how to teach children to read. However, a new study shows that the three reading processes do not conflict, but, rather work together to determine speed. World's Fastest Transistor Approaches Goal Of Terahertz Device
Scientists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have again broken their own speed record for the world's fastest transistor. With a frequency of 845 gigahertz, their latest device is approximately 300 gigahertz faster than transistors built by other research groups, and approaches the goal of a terahertz device.
