PROBING THE UNIVERSE USING PULSAR TIMING ARRAYS

Probing the Universe using Pulsar Timing Arrays

Supermassive black holes (SMBH), found at the centers of galaxies, have been observed in the early Universe, yet their rapid growth remains an open question.When SMBHs form binary systems during galaxy mergers, they are expected to emit strong gravitational waves (GW).A large population of such binaries would produce a stochastic gravitational wave

The evolving doublecortin (DCX) superfamily

Pinpointers Abstract Background Doublecortin (DCX) domains serve as protein-interaction platforms.Mutations in members of this protein superfamily are linked to several genetic diseases.Mutations in the human DCX gene result in abnormal neuronal migration, epilepsy, and mental retardation; mutations in RP1 are associated with a form of inherited bl
