Development and pilot testing of a three-dimensional, phenomenon-based unit that integrates evolution and heredity

Evolution: Education and Outreach, 2019
To realize the promise of the Next Generation Science Standards, educators require new three-dimensional, phenomenon-based curriculum materials. We describe and report on pilot test results from such a resource—Evolution: DNA and the Unity of Life ...

Genetic Association Studies [PDF]

Circulation, 2008
With the completion of the HapMap project1 and the development of technology that allows the examination of ≥1 million genetic polymorphisms at once, genetic association studies are becoming more comprehensive. This article first provides a brief overview of the rationale for genetic association studies; it then discusses the primary features ...

Introduction to Genetic Association Studies [PDF]

Cold Spring Harbor Protocols, 2012
Genetic association studies are used to find candidate genes or genome regions that contribute to a specific disease by testing for a correlation between disease status and genetic variation. This article provides a broad outline of the design and analysis of such studies, focusing on case–control studies in candidate genes or regions.

Psychometric precision in phenotype definition is a useful step in molecular genetic investigation of psychiatric disorders [PDF]

, 2015
Affective disorders are highly heritable, but few genetic risk variants have been consistently replicated in molecular genetic association studies. The common method of defining psychiatric phenotypes in molecular genetic research is either a summation ...

The role of 39 psoriasis risk variants on age of psoriasis onset. [PDF]

, 2013
Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified multiple genetic risk factors for psoriasis, but data on their association with age of onset have been marginally explored.

Detection of phosphorothioated (PS) oligonucleotides in horse plasma using a product ion (m/z 94.9362) derived from the PS moiety for doping control

BMC Research Notes, 2018
Objective Clinical research on gene therapy has advanced the field of veterinary medicine, and gene doping, which is the illegal use of gene therapy, has become a major concern in horseracing. Since the International Federation of Horseracing Authorities
