Short Communication Data-Dredging Gene-Dose Analyses in Association Studies: Biases and their Corrections

Data-dredging gene-dose analyses in association studies: biases and their corrections.

To examine the joint effect of multiple loci on disease risk, many case-control association studies used "gene-dose analyses." However, some researchers defined high-risk genotypes (or alleles) as those that have higher genotypic (allelic) frequencies in the case group compared with the control group in the study. This will lead to the total number of the "high-risk" genotypes (alleles) tending...

Communication and Affective Variables Influencing Omani EFL Learners’ Willingness to Communicate

This study examined Omani EFL learners’ perceptions toward their willingness to communicate (WTC) in English. To this end, 204 students majoring in English language at a private university in Oman were assigned a questionnaire adapted from McCroskey’s (1992) WTC scale to determine possible effects of communication and affective variables on their WTC in English. After assessing the normality di...

Effect of Feeding Oak Acorn on Expression of IL-2, IL-13 and IFN-γ Genes in Bursa Fabricius Tissue of Broiler Chickens (Short Communication)

Today, the use of oak as a replacement feed in poultry diets is well documented. However, oak contains polyphenol compounds (tannins) as antinutrient factors resulted in limited usage in the poultry rations. Generally, consumption of feeds containing tannin could affect gene expression level of immune system. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different levels of ...
