Nucleosome shape dictates chromatin-fiber structure

Kavli Affiliate: Martin Depken | First 5 Authors: Martin Depken, Helmut Schiessel, , , | Summary: Apart from being the gateway for all access to the eukaryotic genome, chromatin has in recent years been identified as carrying an epigenetic code regulating transcriptional activity. The detailed knowledge of this code contrasts the ignorance of the fiber […]

Swimming in circles: Motion of bacteria near solid boundaries

Kavli Affiliate: George M. Whitesides | First 5 Authors: Eric Lauga, Willow R. DiLuzio, George M. Whitesides, Howard A. Stone, | Summary: Near a solid boundary, E. coli swims in clockwise circular motion. We provide a hydrodynamic model for this behavior. We show that circular trajectories are natural consequences of force-free and torque-free swimming, and […]

Nonlinear Quantum Dynamics

Kavli Affiliate: Keith Schwab | First 5 Authors: Salman Habib, Tanmoy Bhattacharya, Andrew Doherty, Benjamin Greenbaum, Asa Hopkins | Summary: The vast majority of the literature dealing with quantum dynamics is concerned with linear evolution of the wave function or the density matrix. A complete dynamical description requires a full understanding of the evolution of […]

Coupled Two-Way Clustering Analysis of Breast Cancer and Colon Cancer Gene Expression Data

Kavli Affiliate: Robert Wood | First 5 Authors: Gad Getz, Hilah Gal, Itai Kela, Eytan Domany, Dan A. Notterman | Summary: We present and review Coupled Two Way Clustering, a method designed to mine gene expression data. The method identifies submatrices of the total expression matrix, whose clustering analysis reveals partitions of samples (and genes) […]

Scanned Potential Microscopy of Edge and Bulk Currents in the Quantum Hall Regime

Kavli Affiliate: Paul McEuen | First 5 Authors: Kent L. McCormick, Michael T. Woodside, Mike Huang, Mingshaw Wu, Paul McEuen | Summary: Using an atomic force microscope as a local voltmeter, we measure the Hall voltage profile in a 2D electron gas in the quantum Hall (QH) regime. We observe a linear profile in the […]
