| 20100196901 | Method for Obtaining Information on Biological Rhythm by Using Hair - To provide a simple and low-invasive method for obtaining information on a biorhythm of an individual organism. Provided is a method for obtaining information on a biorhythm of an individual organism based on variations over time in an expression level of a clock gene in a hair follicle cell of the individual organism. According to this method, a phase shift of the biorhythm of the individual organism can be detected by preparing a plurality of times about the individual organism and conducting a collation. Further, a phase shift of the biorhythm of the individual organism can also be detected by collating an expression level of the clock gene at a predetermined time with the molecular clock table. | 08-05-2010 |
| 20100203504 | Substance-Information Acquisition Method Using Evanescent Light Beam, Substance-Information Measurement Apparatus, Base-Sequence Determination Method and Base-Sequence Determination Apparatus - Information on the position and displacement of a detection-subject substance T can be presented by adoption an evanescent light illumination technology. An evanescent light beam PE has a property that the intensity thereof abruptly attenuates in accordance with an exponential function with increases in distance Z from a boundary surface S capable of generating the evanescent light beam PE. The detection-subject substance T fixed on the boundary surface S is excited by the evanescent light beam PE having the property described, generating the original fluorescent light beam f of the detection-subject substance T. On the basis of the intensity I of the fluorescent light beam f, information Z on the position of the detection-subject substance T and information Δz on the displacement of the detection-subject substance T can be acquired. In addition, by making use of the information Z and the information Δz, it is possible to obtain information on the structure of the detection-subject substance T, its structural change, a base sequence of a nucleic acid chain serving as the detection-subject substance T, the existence/non-existence of substance interactions and the state of progress of the interactions. | 08-12-2010 |
