This paper introduces subchromosome representations to the linkage learning genetic algorithm (LLGA). The subchromosome representation is utilized for effectively lowering the number of building blocks in order to escape from the performance limit implied by the convergence time model for the linkage learning genetic algorithm. A preliminary implementation to realize subchromosome representatio...

This research work examines and verifies the use of subchromosome representations previously introduced to the linkage learning genetic algorithm (LLGA). The subchromosome representation is utilized for effectively lowering the number of building blocks in order to escape from the performance limit implied by the convergence time model for the linkage learning genetic algorithm. A preliminary i...

Linkage studies and epidemiological findings indicate that some possible genes in schizophrenia (SCZ) and bipolar mood disorder (BPD) are common. Numerous evidences for linkage of two diseases on chromosome 22 have been found. These findings suggest that one or more genes in the 22q11.21 region may be involved in the development of both disorders. In the present case-control study, association ...

This study describes the genetic relationships among 34 varieties of Lallemantia iberica using inter-retrotransposon amplified polymorphism (IRAP) and retrotransposon-microsatellite amplified polymorphism (REMAP). Samples were collected from Agriculture Research Center of Urmia city (northwest Iran). Ten IRAP and REMAP primers generated 76 scorable electrophoretic bands with 78.94% pol...

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...
