- We report the generation and analysis of functional data from multiple, diverse experiments performed on a targeted 1% of the human genome as part of the pilot phase of the ENCODE Project. These data have been further integrated and augmented by a number of evolutionary and computational analyses. Together, our results advance the collective knowledge about human genome function in several major areas. First, our studies provide convincing evidence that the genome is pervasively transcribed, such that the majority of its bases can be found in primary transcripts, including non-protein-coding transcripts, and those that extensively overlap one another. Second, systematic examination of transcriptional regulation has yielded new understanding about transcription start sites, including their relationship to specific regulatory sequences and features of chromatin accessibility and histone modification. Third, a more sophisticated view of chromatin structure has emerged, including its inter-relationship with DNA replication and transcriptional regulation. Finally, integration of these new sources of information, in particular with respect to mammalian evolution based on inter- and intra-species sequence comparisons, has yielded new mechanistic and evolutionary insights concerning the functional landscape of the human genome. Together, these studies are defining a path for pursuit of a more comprehensive characterization of human genome function.

- Photonic crystals with infiltrated liquid crystals are investigated in the 1.5 mu m wavelength regime. Due to the strong temperature dependence of the refractive index of liquid crystals, especially near the clearing point, i.e., at the transition between nematic and isotropic phase, the optical properties of photonic crystals can be tuned by small temperature changes. The refractive index of liquid crystals is birefringent and, therefore, sensitive for the polarization of the incident light. By using microresonators embedded into planar photonic crystal waveguides, the polarization dependence of the optical properties with and without infiltrated liquid crystal is investigated. The experimental results quantitatively agree well with the calculated photonic band structure assuming a temperature depending reorientation of the liquid crystal director field inside the holes.
