The National Biobanking Programme A collaboration between SWEGENE and Wallenberg Consortium North THE NATIONAL BIOBANKING PROGRAMME
Use of biobank-based study designs enables minimisation of several major sources of bias in genetic epidemiologic studies and has the potential to resolve major bottlenecks for progress. E.g., case-control studies nested in biobanks can minimise selection biases by enabling inclusion of all eligible cases and controls in the study base. Use of population-based biobanks in combination with case ...
متن کاملRole of inbreeding depression and purging in captive breeding and restoration programmes.
Inbreeding depression is a major force affecting the evolution and viability of small populations in captive breeding and restoration programmes. Populations that experience small sizes may be less susceptible to future inbreeding depression because they have been purged of deleterious recessive alleles. We review issues related to purging, as they apply to the management of small populations, ...
متن کاملThe impacts of inbreeding, drift and selection on genetic diversity in captive breeding populations.
The goal of captive breeding programmes is often to maintain genetic diversity until re-introductions can occur. However, due in part to changes that occur in captive populations, approximately one-third of re-introductions fail. We evaluated genetic changes in captive populations using microsatellites and mtDNA. We analysed six populations of white-footed mice that were propagated for 20 gener...
متن کاملCost and benefits of a multidisciplinary intensive diabetes education programme.
OBJECTIVES To determine the cost and benefits of an intensive diabetes education programme for patients with prolonged self-management problems and to determine the inclusion criteria for optimal outcomes. METHODS Sixty-one participants of a multidisciplinary intensive diabetes education programme (MIDEP) were measured before they started the intervention (T0), and at 1-year follow-up (T1). D...
متن کاملThreatened badgers' breeding secrets
Mammals, like other animals, use a range of tactics to maximise breeding success but there is often a sexual conflict which mismatches the best strategies for males and females. How these conflicts pan out represent a rich field of research for workers looking at evolutionary issues. In a new study, biologists from the University of Oxford explore the evidence that a rare tactic is used by fema...
