Genetics literacy is crucial for making informed decisions. However, perceived complexity, educational gaps, and misleading media narratives make reaching diverse populations difficult. Interventions to improve genetics beyond K—12 classrooms should center on building science trust self-efficacy. We used a mixed methods approach survey 12 museums with content found 3 framing devices, “Genetics ...

background: rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that affects 0.5–10% of the population. common symptoms are redness and itching in the nose bridge area, especially cheeks. the cause is not completely understood but genetics, increased growth of bacteria in the small intestine, and increased activity of demodex mites are considered responsible. there is no certain cure for it; however...

background: in recent studies, partial deletions of the azoospermia factor c region (azfc) on the y-chromosome have been detected in males with infertility problems. however, there has been a lot of debate about their significance. in order to study such deletions, a simple but accurate method for their detection was applied in this study. methods: we present data obtained from the multiplex li...

objective(s): genetic analysis of two consanguineous pakistani families with localized autosomal recessive hypotrichosis was performed with the goal to establish genotype-phenotype correlation. materials and methods: genomic dna extraction had been done from peripheral blood samples. extracted dna was then subjected to pcr (polymerase chain reaction) for amplification. linkage analysis was perf...

A phase transition is taking place today. The amount of data generated by genome resequencing technologies is so large that in some cases it is now less expensive to repeat the experiment than to store the information generated by the experiment. In the next few years, it is quite possible that millions of Americans will have been genotyped. The question then arises of how to make the best use ...

Character recognition has great importance in present scenario. It has many application areas in the field of business, postal system, banking, library, form processing, document processing etc. A highly efficient character recognition system is required for such type of applications. Various authors have used different classifiers, mainly based on neural networks for this purpose. As BackPropa...

The assignment of haplogroups to mitochondrial DNA haplotypes contributes substantial value for quality control, not only in forensic genetics but also in population and medical genetics. The availability of Phylotree, a widely accepted phylogenetic tree of human mitochondrial DNA lineages, led to the development of several (semi-)automated software solutions for haplogrouping. However, current...

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 ...
