Abstract: The invention provides methods for activating a repressed allele within an imprinting control region, thereby treating an imprinting associated disorder.

Abstract: An optical transmission system transmits a Radio Frequency (RF) signal by a frequency division multiplexing method. The optical transmission system includes a Transmitter Optical SubAssembly (TOSA), an optical fiber, and a Receiver Optical SubAssembly (ROSA). The TOSA includes a surface emitting laser diode configured to be capable of emitting light at output of 0.8 mW or more. In the optical transmission system including the surface emitting laser diode, a noise index obtained by a measurement method including a predetermined step is 10.0 dB?V or less.

Abstract: The present invention features compositions and methods for recapitulating physiological X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) in a cell, including a cell of any embryo generated by Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT). In one aspect, the invention features a method for generating physiological X chromosome inactivation in an embryo generated by SCNT, the method comprising injecting the embryo generated via SCNT with an H3K27me3-specific demethylase polypeptide or a polynucleotide encoding said demethylase. Disclosed herein are methods, compositions, and kits comprising an agent which increases the expression of genes encoding an H3K27me3-specific demethylase, or increases the activity of human H3K27me3-specific demethylase.

Abstract: Provided is an optical fiber cable which allows for high-quality signal transmission in short-distance transmission. The optical fiber cable is designed for use in optical communication based on transmitting an optical beam from a light-emitting device, to a light-receiving device. The optical fiber cable has: a proximal end which is one end thereof on the side of the light-emitting device, and a distal end which is the other end thereof on the side of the light-receiving device, wherein an optical beam returning from the side of the distal end toward the side of the light-emitting device has an M2 factor of 1.7 or more; and a length of 50 m or less.
