By Ramana Annamraju                                  A petty thief in the state of Michigan botched up a robbery. He left one shoe at the scene while trying to flee. Authorities ran a DNA profile on the shoe. But the biological DNA sample is not sufficient enough to identify anyone in the database. Then the authorities sent the 'extracted data' without biological samples to a unique company in New Zealand. The company specializes in mathematical algorithms based on the law of Entropy. The entropy-based algorithm extracted relevant data from the chaotic data otherwise seemed impossible. The culprit was identified and convicted with the extracted data without using any biological sample. But, the robber decried, it is a computer conviction, not with the law. He did not realize the conviction stemmed from a universal law that is more powerful and more convincing than any law from this planet. T...

Venky Ramakrishnan's discovery is in the middle of it. mRNA is a messenger particle that carries the genetic information to a ribosome. Ribosome is a minute cellular particle. The ribosome then read that information. (like scanner)  ribosome takes that information and produces proteins that are front-line workers of our bodies.   Until recently, we did not have a clear idea of the structure of ribosomes.        That is where Venky Ramakrishnan's discovery place a role. The finding is mapping out the ribosome's atomic structure, i.e., the locations of the atoms in...
