Genetics for population and public health
Epidemiologists and public health practitioners are somewhat wary of genetics, and for good reason. The historical catch phrases ‘nature versus nurture’, or ‘genes versus environment’, have created a culture clash. These simplistic views are built around an inherent assumption of genetic determinism, and the belief that the causes of diseases can be partitioned into two or three groups: genetic...
متن کاملWorld distribution, population genetics, and health burden of the hemoglobinopathies.
Although information about the precise world distribution and frequency of the inherited hemoglobin disorders is still limited, there is no doubt that they are going to pose an increasing burden on global health resources in the future. Their high frequency is a reflection of natural selection combined with a high frequency of consanguineous marriages in many countries, together with an epidemi...
متن کاملPneumoviruses: Molecular Genetics and Reverse Genetics
Pneumoviruses are responsible for significant respiratory disease in their hosts and represent a major problemfor human and animal health. Pneumoviruses are members of the family Paramyxoviridae, subfamilyPneumovirinae and the virus particles consist of a negative-sense, nonsegmented RNA genome within a helical nucleocapsid structure enveloped in a lipid membrane derived from the ho...
متن کاملEvolutionary Genetics Theoretical Population Genetics
Evolutionary genetics studies the patterns and mechanisms of genetic changes underlying evolutionary change. Because biological diversity at all levels (including population, species, and ecosystem diversity) has a genetic basis and is a result of evolution, evolutionary genetics provides insight into the ultimate mechanisms creating biodiversity. Evolutionary genetics utilizes empirical tools ...
متن کاملPopulation Genetics and Ecology
About 40 years ago, scientists first strongly advocated the integration of population ecology and population genetics into population biology (Singh and Uyenoyama, 2004). Even today these two disciplines are not really integrated, but there is a general appreciation of population genetic con cepts in population ecology and vice versa. For example, the new subdiscipline molecular ecology, and m...
