BACKGROUND: Direct reprogramming of fibroblasts to cardiomyocytes is a potentially curative strategy for ischemic heart ...

Abstract The objective of this study was to establish classification ranges for genetic and additive genetic coefficients of variation, as well as for broad and narrow sense heritability, as a ...

Gene Editing: Livestock Genetic Improvement Through DNA Editing Researchers are using gene editing techniques to introduce beneficial traits like polled and disease resistance, as well as exploring ...

May 24, 2000 / Canadian Press TORONTO -- A year after British doctors raised alarm bells over the use of antibiotics in genetic modification, one of the world's largest biotechnology companies says it ...

To improve the accuracy of clustering classification the Adaptive Genetic Algorithm was proposed. The code is float, the selection operator is rank-based fitness assignment and elitist model, the ...

Alignment and sequencing errors are a major concern in molecular evolution, and this valuable study represents a welcome improvement for genome-wide scans of positive selection. This new method seems ...

Population-level genetic variation has been studied by measuring phenotypes in common gardens (10 – 12). These studies established the prevalence of clinal genetic variation along climatic gradients, ...

Genetic variation as an adjustment to environmental changes. Genetic variation allows Chlamydia trachomatis to exploit diverse niches within a host (tissue tropism) and to avoid, escape or resist ...

Post-translational modifications are an essential process for proper protein function and localization. In particular, lipid modification plays a crucial role in the spatial regulation of proteins ...

β-Cyclodextrin (CD) is currently exploited for the implantation of lipophobic polymer dots (PDs) for antimicrobial and anticancer laborers. Moreover, the PDs were investigated to act as a chemo-sensor ...

The issue at stake, then, is the nature of the evolutionary forces that maintain genetic variation. This issue is important in itself, but also has practical relevance.
