Abstract: An optical component capable of changing polarization light state and a liquid crystal display (LCD) device using the same are provided. The optical component including a transparent substrate and a wavelength compensator is disposed at any position from the outer side of the LCD device to the outside in an output direction of an output light. The wavelength compensator is directly attached to the surface of the substrate to convert an output light of the LCD device from a linearly polarized light into a circularly polarized light or an elliptically polarized light, thereby effectively reducing eye fatigue. The LCD device is provided with such an optical component such that a linearly polarized light emerging from the LCD device is converted into a circularly polarized light or an elliptically polarized light to lessen the eye fatigue.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to providing sensitive and accurate assays for gene detection, genome-wide gene expression profiling and alternative splice monitoring with a minimum or absence of target-specific amplification.

Abstract: The disclosure provides methods of examining the binding of proteins to DNA across a genome (e.g., the entire genome or a portion thereof, such as one or more chromosomes or a chromosome regions). In particular, the disclosure relates to a method of identifying a regulatory region (e.g., a protein or enhancer region) of genomic DNA to which a protein of interest binds. In one aspect, the disclosure looks at tissue related regulation. In another aspect, the disclosure looks at developmental related regulation. In yet another aspect, the disclosure looks at regulation of expression in a particular disease state or disorder.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to providing sensitive and accurate assays for gene detection, genome-wide gene expression profiling and alternative splice monitoring wit a minimum or absence of target-specific amplification.

Abstract: A novel serine protein kinase, SRPK1, having a molecular weight of about 92 kD and phosphorylating the SR family of splicing factors in a cell-cycle regulated manner is described. Polynucleotide and polypeptide sequences for SRPK1 are provided as well as methods for modulating splicing and alternative splicing of precursor mRNAs.
