Diurnal preference and sleep quality: same genes? A study of young adult twins [PDF]
, 2010 The aims of this study were to examine the genetic and environmental influences on diurnal preference and sleep quality, the association between these phenotypes, the genetic and environmental influences on this association, and the magnitude of overlap ...

A double dominant genetic mechanism for schizophrenia [PDF]
Hereditas, 2009 Family data from Iceland are reported, showing the rates of hospitalization with psychosis in different classes of relatives of index cases diagnosed schizophrenic, manic depressive, or psychotic depressive. The data are analyzed in terms of the probable mode of transmission for schizophrenia and are felt to fit best a mechanism requiring two separate ...

Genetic determinism in the Finnish upper secondary school biology textbooks
Nordina: Nordic Studies in Science Education, 2015 Genetics is a fast-developing field and it has been argued that genetics education is lagging behind. Genetics education has, for example, been suspected of indoctrinating strong genetic determinism. As the updating of the national upper secondary school

Error threshold in the evolution of diploid organisms
, 1996 The effects of error propagation in the reproduction of diploid organisms are studied within the populational genetics framework of the quasispecies model. The dependence of the error threshold on the dominance parameter is fully investigated.

Effect of migration in a diffusion model for template coexistence in protocells [PDF]
, 2014 The compartmentalization of distinct templates in protocells and the exchange of templates between them (migration) are key elements of a modern scenario for prebiotic evolution.

Genetic analysis of some agronomic traits in groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.)
International Journal of Agricultural Research, Innovation and Technology, 2013 A 10×10 half diallel experiment was conducted on groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) to ascertain the gene action and genetic parameters of ten traits including 50% flowering, no. of pods per plant, plant height, harvest index, pod index, 100 pod weight, 100

Detecting selection-induced departures from Hardy-Weinberg proportions
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2009 Viability selection influences the genotypic contexts of alleles and leads to quantifiable departures from Hardy-Weinberg proportions. One measure of these departures is Wright's inbreeding coefficient (F), where observed heterozygosity is compared with ...

Assessment of the dynamics of microparasite infections in genetically homogeneous and heterogeneous populations using a stochastic epidemic model [PDF]
, 2008 The aim of this paper was to explore the effect of genetic heterogeneity in host resistance to infection on the population-level risks and outcomes of epidemics.

Dominant Takeover Regimes for Genetic Algorithms [PDF]
, 1995 The genetic algorithm (GA) is a machine-based optimization routine which connects evolutionary learning to natural genetic laws [1–2]. The present work addresses the problem of obtaining the dominant takeover regimes in the GA dynamics. Estimated GA run times are computed for slow and fast convergence in the limits of high and low fitness ratios. Using
