Estonian Genome Project - before the take-off and take-off

I will give an overview of the preparations of the EGP including all aspects of the project and current satus of the pilot phase, describe the informatics part of the project together with other aspects (legal, ethical, logistics, financial etc.) and where we stand in terms of population genetics and genotyping technology in order to start using the sample collection for case--control studies f...

Cut-off Sampling Design: Take all, Take Some, and Take None

Extended Abstract. Sampling is the process of selecting units (e.g., people, organizations) from a population of interest so that by studying the sample we may fairly generalize our results back to the population from which they were chosen. To draw a sample from the underlying population, a variety of sampling methods can be employed, individually or in combination. Cut-off sampling is a pr...

Alpha Cells Take Off First

Using a transgenic mouse line in which GFP is expressed in a single population of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), Huberman and colleagues report in this issue of Neuron that the axon terminals of RGCs exhibit an orderly pattern of distribution in the higher visual centers. This pattern undergoes a developmental refinement, and synchronous activity in the retina regulates columnar but not laminar...

Bologna and the Cooperation with Developing Countries

A brief recollection is made of the many scientific collaborations of Bologna with colleagues from Developing Countries. In particular are discussed in detail the collaborations in some recent AstroparticlePhysics Experiments.
