Genetic polymorphisms in isolated communities

Genetic polymorphisms in Drosophila

In a population evolving by gradual change, the amount of genetic variation is important because the rate of evolution is absolutely limited by the degree of genetic variability. Various forces of evolution such as natural selection, random genetic drift and migration operate on genetic variability which provides the raw material for evolution. Thus the rate of evolution is absolutely limited b...

Genetic research in native communities.

People are living longer because of advances made through biomedical research. The challenge in genetic research on indigenous peoples is that it raises a complex range of legal, ethical, social, spiritual, and political issues. The current research paradigm is one of paternalism and biocolonialism. Such was the case of the Havasupai, who believed their blood samples were to be solely used for ...

Genetic Polymorphisms in a 1

The widely expressed chicken UBTD2 gene in different types of tissues from embryonic to adult developmental stages implies its important role in regulating protein ubiquitination and delivery of ubiquitinated substrates, however, there is no specific study on the genomic DNA structure and function of chicken UBTD2 gene except a few invalidated SNPs derived from ESTs. In this study, a 1.2 kb lon...

Polymorphisms and Genetic Markers

The completion of many malaria parasite genomes provides great opportunities for genomewide characterization of gene expression and high-throughput genotyping. Substantial progress in malaria genomics and genotyping has been made recently, particularly the development of various microarray platforms for large-scale characterization of the Plasmodium falciparum genome. Microarray has been used f...
