Genetic Variation in Volunteerism
The Sociological Quarterly, 2010Research has shown that prosocial behaviors of various kinds are passed from generation to generation, but the role played by genetics in the transmission of volunteerism has been unexplored. Data from the Midlife in the United States (MIDUS) Twins and Siblings samples are used to estimate genetic heritability of hours volunteered per month.

Antimicrobials as promoters of genetic variation
Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2012The main causes of antibiotic resistance are the selection of naturally occurring resistant variants and horizontal gene transfer processes. In recent years, the implications of antibiotic contact or treatment in drug resistance acquisition by bacteria have been gradually more evident.

Genetic variation of regulatory systems
Current Opinion in Genetics & Development, 2009The regulation of gene expression is one of the most important cellular functions that determines developmental and somatic cell fates. Studies that attempt to describe the molecular interactions that govern gene regulation highlight the complexity and multidimensionality of this process.

Theophylline metabolism: Variation and genetics
Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 1984Variation of theophylline metabolism in 54 healthy, nonmedicated adults (13 monozygotic [MZ] twin pairs, 11 dizygotic [DZ] twin pairs, and 6 single individuals) was assessed by kinetic study. Elimination rate constant, clearance (Cl), t1/2, and apparent volume of distribution, as well as urine excretion of unchanged theophylline and of the three major ...

Principles for the Buffering of Genetic Variation
Science, 2001Most genetic research has used inbred organisms and has not explored the complexity of natural genetic variation present in outbred populations. The translation of genotype to phenotype is complicated by gene interactions observed as epistasis, canalization, robustness, or buffering.

Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on genetic variability and its applications in entomology. Without change, genome would be passed identically to future generations. But it would also constrain potential future adaptation to new situations. Only when genetic variability is present processes such as selection, genetic drift, and migration can act

Molecular genetics of antigenic variation
Immunology Today, 1991Antigenic variation is one of the most effective strategies developed by parasites to escape immune destruction. It requires a large wardrobe of surface coats and mechanisms to exchange one coat for an unrelated one. The molecular principles of antigenic variation are now largely known in the bacterial species Borrelia and Neisseria and in the protozoa

Over the past 15 years, genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified more than 2,900 genetic loci associated with adiposity traits. The majority of these loci were discovered through large-scale GWAS meta-analyses for body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), mostly in adults and in European ancestry populations. However, some gene

What processes account for the remarkable variation in form and function that we see in the living world and how might they be similar or different between microorganisms and macroorganisms? Because natural variation provides the raw material on which evolution acts, this chapter sets the stage for later comparisons in the book.
