Genetic techniques and circuit analysis [PDF]
Reaching an understanding of how neuronal circuits work and what they compute is a fundamental aim of neuroscience, perhaps even the most fundamental. We have to both establish the connections between cell types and reversibly manipulate their activity cell-type-selectively.

Evolutionary biology and genetic techniques for insect control. [PDF]
The requirement to develop new techniques for insect control that minimize negative environmental impacts has never been more pressing. Here we discuss population suppression and population replacement technologies. These include sterile insect technique,

A new control technique for active power filters using a combined genetic algorithm/conventional analysis [PDF]
In this paper, the computational problems associated with the optimization techniques used to evaluate the switching patterns for controlling variable-characteristics active power filters are presented and critically analyzed.

Advanced genetic techniques in fungal pathogen research [PDF]
Although fungi have been important model organisms for solving genetic, molecular, and ecological problems, recently, they are also becoming an important source of infectious disease.

Major Advances in Genetic Evaluation Techniques [PDF]
The past quarter-century in genetic evaluation of dairy cattle has been marked by evolution in methodology and computer capacity, expansion in the array of evaluated traits, and globalization. Animal models replaced sire and sire-maternal grandsire models and, more recently, application of Bayesian theory has become standard.

Genome-wide association study of mitochondrial DNA in Chinese men identifies seven new susceptibility loci for high-altitude pulmonary oedema [PDF]
Background/Aim. High-altitude pulmonary oedema (HAPE), which normally occurs at altitudes higher than 3,000 m, is a potentially fatal disease due to hypoxia.

Breast cancer susceptibility genes: Options for those carrying BRCA1 mutations [PDF]
The discovery of the association between breast and ovarian cancer and the BRCA genes and the development of methods for genetic testing made it possible to screen women for genetic predisposition to develop hereditary breast cancer (HBC).
