A century ago, Thomas Hunt Morgan, the American scientist, studied the cytogenetic changes of drosophila and came to cytogenetic explanation of Mendel's basic laws of genetic heredity. These studies resulted in today's Mendel-Morgan chromosomal theory of heredity. On the occasion of the hundredth anniversary of this important discovery the authors have decided to give a review of the most signi...

cancer-genetics epidemiology and genetics investigation in colorectal carcinomas: directions towards prevention

As descendants of social cockroaches, termites have an intriguing biology that makes them highly suitable study subjects in a wide variety fields, such as eusocial evolution, ageing mechanisms, wood decomposition, ecosystem engineering, and pest management. This special section presents four studies ranging from the role chemical compounds foraging behaviour food digestion to genetics physiolog...

Background: Understanding the differences in genetics of malignancies is crucial for therapeutic decisions. This systematic review was conducted to evaluate the current evidence on genetics of bone tumors in the context of pediatric cancer. Material and Methods: We performed a systematic review of the literature published on genetics of pediatrics bone tumors, using PubMed, Google scholar,...
