Logic motif of combinatorial control in transcriptional networks [PDF]
Combinatorial control is prevalent in transcriptional regulatory networks. However, whether there are specific logic patterns over- or under-represented in real networks remains uninvestigated.

The Morphogenesis Of Evolutionary Developmental Biology [PDF]
The early studies of evolutionary developmental biology (Evo-Devo) come from several sources. Tributaries flowing into Evo-Devo came from such disciplines as embryology, developmental genetics, evolutionary biology, ecology, paleontology, systematics ...

The genetic determinism of human performances. A comparison between teachers' conceptions in Finland and France [PDF]
International audienceFinland has the best mean sciences scores among the OECD countries while France is in the OECD average (PISA 2006). Nevertheless, when measuring interactions between knowledge and values in teachers' conceptions, the comparison ...

A Monte Carlo Approach to Measure the Robustness of Boolean Networks
Emergence of robustness in biological networks is a paramount feature of evolving organisms, but a study of this property in vivo, for any level of representation such as Genetic, Metabolic, or Neuronal Networks, is a very hard challenge.

Epigenetic therapy in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
DNA methylation and other epigenetic phenomena appear to be relevant in the pathogenesis of several malignant disorders. DNA methyltransferases add methyl groups to cytosine-phosphate-guanine (CpG) islandsleading to gene promoter silencing.

Within selection Dentro de la selección
The synthetic theory of evolution proposes that biotic variations generated by mutation are mostly fixed, lost or maintained polymorphic by natural selection, with a marginal effect due to genetic drift.

A Very Little Bit of Knowledge: Re-Evaluating the Meaning of the Heritability of IQ [PDF]
There is a deeper assumption underlying adoption studies that is often not acknowledged by either adoption study researchers or their critics, and it is an assumptions that is at least as important as the two considered by Richardson and Norgate: the ...

Images of twins and the notion of the genetic program in the school textbooks of biology: a comparative study held among 15 countries [PDF]
Genetic concepts have been strongly evolved during these last ten years, and have been found less connected to reductionist or hereditarist values. The aim of the specific research was to analyze and identify if the current school textbooks of biology ...
