Comment on Gohli et al. (2013): "Does promiscuity explain differences in levels of genetic diversity across passerine birds?".
Gohli et al. (2013) report a positive relationship between genetic diversity and promiscuity across passerine birds, and suggest that female promiscuity acts as a form of balancing selection, maintaining differences in genetic variation across species. This is an interesting hypothesis, but the enormous variation in genetic diversity present within species is not taken into account in their ana...
متن کاملCCL22 16C/A Genetic Variation is not Associated with Breast Carcinoma in Southern Iranian Population
Background: CCL22/MDC is a CC chemokine with a critical role in regulation of the immune balance in physiological condition. CCL22/CCR-4 ligation has been documented to participate in the migration of regulatory T (Treg) cells and Th2 lymphocytes to the site of breast tumors; circumstances that are known to be associated with poor prognosis. Objective: To investigate the association of a single...
متن کاملReplication in genetic association studies: Comment on the editorial by Spector et al.
imab treatment. First, the authors did not specify the time points at which the reconstitution of the naive B cell subset was measured. Rouziere et al found highly mutated memory B cells in the early phase of B cell reconstitution after rituximab treatment in 2 patients with RA (3). Second, the authors did not compare reconstitution of different subsets, but focused on the most prominent subset...
متن کاملComment on Yuan Et Al
It has come to our attention that the work of Yuan et al. [1] is being represented as definitive regarding the existence of a particular nonstrange, isoscalar, spin three dibaryon, d * , which we [2] , among others [3, 4, 5, 6, 8] , have proposed exists. We therefore wish to comment on this paper and its relation to ours and those of others. In our work [2] , the d * dibaryon is constructed in ...
متن کاملImproved evolvability in genetic programming with polyandry
This paper proposes Polyandry, a new nature-inspired modification to canonical Genetic Programming (GP). Polyandry aims to improve evolvability in GP. Evolvability is a critically important GP trait, the maintenance of which determines the arrival of the GP at a global optimum solution. Specifically evolvability is defined as the ability of the genetic operators employed in GP to produce offspr...
