Cure for Color Blindness with the help of gene Therapy !!

By studying in depth the structures of genes and their effects on the human body, scientists are now able to fight against color blindness.

Color blindness is more common in the man than women; about one man in 13 and one woman in 230 suffer from some kind of color blindness or some similar kinds of defects.

This defect occurs due to some mutations caused in genes hence that results in inactivation of light absorbing pigments in the retina. And if the red photo pigment is absent then the red and green objects will appear as different shades of grey.

Color blindness is also found in some types of monkeys.
At the Eye Institute in the University of Washington, Jay and Neitz, husband and wife has discovered that is possible to cure this defect with the help of gene therapy.

This experiment was first done on the monkeys and the virus containing the defect free gene was injected into the young color blind monkey, the monkey was first trained for the identification of colors and will awarded by the fresh juices on the correct identification.
At that time before treatment monkeys only identified blue and yellow color spots without identifying red and green, but after gene treatments of five months the monkeys were capable of recognizing the red and green spots as well.

This type of gene therapy will also start on the humans but it will take some period to initialize this step.

Let’s explore Dark matter mysteries of the Universe, with fastest computer of the World !!

Now the time is coming when we will explore each and every part of the universe by the use of latest technology.

IBM and Los Alamos National Laboratory had developed the world fastest computer named as “Roadrunner”, which is able to perform 100 trillions operations per seconds.
It is basically designed for the advancement in the US nuclear program, as well as it will also leads to the exploration in the dark energies in the universe.
This machine is huge in size and covers 6,000 square feet of space, its 10,000 connections of optical fiber covering the area of 57km and its memory weights 500,000 pounds that include 80 terabytes space.

Still we had only explored 4.6% mass of the universe that is visible and made of atoms. Other 22% is dark matter whose presence can only be judged with the help of moving galaxies and other 73% is still the secret mystery of the universe called as dark energy.

Roadrunner had used the base particle for the calculation that has the mass of billons suns. Such a huge mass was necessary as galaxies had been molded which has the mass of about trillions suns.

This computer will use particles equal to 64 billions of suns, to explore the dimension of the universe that is highly fascinating and mind fighting.
