Glomeruli of the Mouse Olfactory Bulb: Numbers, Sizes, Shapes
Serial two‐photon tomography was used to generate complete image stacks of 12 mouse olfactory bulbs labeled immunohistochemically as whole mounts with antibodies against the glomerular marker VGLUT2, and 33,137 glomeruli were manually segmented. The median of 2851 glomeruli per olfactory bulb at postnatal day 56 corresponds to 2.50 glomeruli per intact

New insights into applications of base editor in hereditary disorders
Abstract Hereditary disorders are a group of diseases caused by genetic mutations or chromosomal variations. Although the incidence of each genetic disorder is relatively low, patients affected by the disease generally experience a range of severe symptoms, including blindness, disability, and even premature death. In addition, the available treatments

Population history and infrequent mutations: how old is a rare mutation? GUCY2D as a worked example [PDF]
The mosaic pattern of haplotypes observed around a single mutation results from one or several founder events. The difficulties involved in calculating the age of the variant are greatly reduced by assuming a single event, but this simplification may bias analysis of the genealogy of the mutation.
