How to separate genetic and environmental causes of similarity between relatives.
Related individuals often have similar phenotypes, but this similarity may be due to the effects of shared environments as much as to the effects of shared genes. We consider here alternative approaches to separating the relative contributions of these two sources to phenotypic covariances, comparing experimental approaches such as cross-fostering, traditional statistical techniques and more co...
متن کاملHow to separate entangled sisters: interplay between condensin and decatenase.
C hromosomes are highly organized in the cell, yet they undergo dynamic conformational changes throughout the cell cycle. Such conformational changes become crucial, particularly when duplicated chromosomes (sister chromatids) separate from each other before cell division. From a mechanistic point of view, two fundamental processes must operate for successful separation of chromosomes. One is p...
متن کاملLearning How to Separate
The main question addressed in the present work is how to find effectively a recursive function separating two sets drawn arbitrarily from a given collection of disjoint sets. In particular, it is investigated in which cases it is possible to satisfy the following additional constraints: confidence where the learner converges on all data-sequences; conservativeness where the learner abandons on...
متن کاملUse of relatives of cases as controls to identify risk factors when an interaction between environmental and genetic factors exists.
BACKGROUND The difficulty in detecting relevant risk factors for chronic diseases (such as breast and colon cancer) may be due to heterogeneity in the populations of studied cases, and one source of heterogeneity may be differential genetic susceptibility predisposing to differential environmental sensitivity. METHODS The purpose of this investigation is to determine whether the estimates of ...
متن کاملinvestigating the relationship between ambiguity tolerance and willingness to translate of iranian prospective english translators: an sem revalidation study
cognitive studies of translation process have recently been awarded a great deal of attention. there exists a psychological angle to almost all translation activities. the present study, thus, deals with analysing the relationships between iranian prospective translators tolerance for ambiguity (ta) and their willingness to translate (wtt). the research was conducted as a mixed methods study, d...
