This book is unique in covering a wide range of design and analysis issues in genetic studies of rare variants, taking advantage of collaboration of the editors with many experts in the field through large-scale international consortia including the UK10K Project, GO-T2D and T2D-GENES.
The only monograph on cytogenetics for the pathologist, this up-to-the-minute reference/text contains the most up-to-date research findings on many important topics in medical genetics-notably FISH (fluorescent in situ hybridation)-based molecular cytogenetic technologies and spectral karyotyping.
Named after Selene, Greek goddess of the moon, selenium (Se) has moved has moved from being thought of as a toxicant to being considered an essential nutrient with the potential to reduce cancer risk in the span of seven decades.
This series of books, devoted to aspects of blood cell biochemistry, development, immu- nology, and ultrastructure, has evolved and separated from the long-established Plenum series Subcellular Biochemistry.
Leading researchers examine how behavior genetics provides crucial insights into genetic and environmental influences in the development of biobehavioral disorders.
Bacterial plasmids originating in a wide range of genera are being studied from a variety of perspectives in hundreds of laboratories around the globe.
Sequence - Evolution - Function is an introduction to the computational approaches that play a critical role in the emerging new branch of biology known as functional genomics.
The annual research conference for 1996 of the American Institute for Cancer Re- search was again held at the Loews L'Enfant Plaza Hotel in Washington, DC, August 29 and 30.
Providing an essential foundation for evolutionary theory, this comprehensive volume examines patterns of genetic variation within natural insect populations, and explores the underlying mechanisms that lead to the genetic divergence of coexisting organisms.
One of the privileges of appointment to a Chair at another University is that it gives one the right to talk to many distinguished people about their work and ideas.
This assessment of Britains influential 14 day rule governing embryo research explores how and why it became the de facto global standard for research into human fertilisation and embryology, arguing that its influence and stability offers valuable lessons for successful biological translation.
'A big-picture forecast of how medicine stands on the threshold of a revolution that will radically change all of our lives' The TimesWelcome to a revolution in the science of you.
The meeting on "e;Microbial Surface Components and Toxins in Relation to Pathogenesis"e; was held on May 15-19, 1989, in the Mitzpe Rachel guesthouse of Kibbutz Ramat Rachel in Israel.
Ecological and evolutionary genetics span many disciplines and virtually all levels of biological investigation, from the genetic information itself to the principles governing the complex organization of living things.
This volume is based on a workshop on Woody Plant Biotechnology held at the Institute of Forest Genetics, USDA Forest Service, Placerville, California, USA, 15-19 October, 1989.
During the first half century of genetics, coinciding with the first half of this cen- tury, geneticists dreamt of the repair of genetic disease by altering or replacing defective genes.
`In contrast to common practice, we have always tried to include as many discussions held at the meeting in our proceedings as possible, so as to enable readers to properly evaluate each paper presented, as well as to learn of future prospects in this field of research.
since the earliest results on the linkage between ras activation and cell transformation appeared a vast amount of additional information has been generated which emphasizes the importance of ras-related genes in membrane trafficking, cell proliferation, differentiation and cancer.
In September, 1990, a group of 160 scientists from 19 countries and 21 of the United States met at the Red Lion Inn in Rohnert Park, Sonoma County, California.
This book contains selected proceedings from the NATO Advanced Study Institute (AS I) "e;The Molecular Pathology of Alcoholism"e; held at the Hotel Il Ciocco in Tuscany during 26th August - 6th September 1990.
