Population Genetics [PDF]

, 2006
Population genetics attempts to measure the influence of the causes of evolution, viz., mutation, migration, natural selection, and random genetic drift, by understanding the way those causes change the genetics of populations. But how does it accomplish

Acute Neurological Events in Children With Hemoglobin SC Disease: A Multicenter Retrospective Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Neurological manifestations in children with hemoglobin SC (HbSC) disease remain insufficiently characterized, particularly regarding acute events. The aim of this study was to describe the spectrum and frequency of acute neurological events in a multicenter cohort of children with HbSC disease.

A population genetics model of marker-assisted selection [PDF]

, 1997
A deterministic two-loci model was developed to predict genetic response to marker-assisted selection (MAS) in one generation and in multiple generations.

Infant Embryonal CNS Tumors: Molecular Insights and Treatment Considerations for Contemporary Pediatric Neuro‐Oncology

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Embryonal tumors comprise the majority of malignant central nervous system (CNS) neoplasms diagnosed in children under 3 years of age. Compared with their counterparts in older children, these tumors exhibit distinct molecular biology and a more aggressive clinical phenotype, while their management is complicated by the heightened ...

Exploring the Status of Population Genetics: The Role of Ecology [PDF]

, 2012
The status of population genetics has become hotly debated among biologists and philosophers of biology. Many seem to view population genetics as relatively unchanged since the Modern Synthesis and have argued that subjects such as development were left ...

Ewing Sarcoma in Infants and Children Under 2 Years of Age: A French Retrospective Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ewing sarcoma, the second most common primary bone cancer in children, requires intensive treatment that may lead to significant long‐term sequelae, particularly in infants. We retrospectively analyzed data from 1621 French patients treated between 1988 and 2015 within the EW88/93/97 or EE99 trials, focusing on 17 infants diagnosed before 24 ...

Little evidence of inbreeding depression for birth mass, survival and growth in Antarctic fur seal pups

Scientific Reports
Inbreeding depression, the loss of offspring fitness due to consanguineous mating, is generally detrimental for individual performance and population viability.

Exploring the effects of ecological parameters on the spatial structure of genetic tree sequences

Peer Community Journal
Geographic space is a fundamental dimension of evolutionary change, determining how individuals disperse and interact with each other. Consequently, space has an important influence on the structure of genealogies and the distribution of genetic variants

The Etruscans: A Population-Genetic Study [PDF]

The American Journal of Human Genetics, 2004
The origins of the Etruscans, a non-Indo-European population of preclassical Italy, are unclear. There is broad agreement that their culture developed locally, but the Etruscans' evolutionary and migrational relationships are largely unknown. In this study, we determined mitochondrial DNA sequences in multiple clones derived from bone samples of 80 ...
