Case report: A novel WASHC5 variant altering mRNA splicing causes spastic paraplegia in a patient
Background: Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a progressive upper-motor neurodegenerative disease. Mutations in the WASHC5 gene are associated with autosomal dominant HSP, spastic paraplegia 8 (SPG8).

Sex-related differences in chromatic sensitivity [PDF]
Generally women are believed to be more discriminating than men in the use of colour names and this is often taken to imply superior colour vision. However, if both X-chromosome linked colour deficient males (~8%) and females (

Reliability assessment of null allele detection: inconsistencies between and within different methods [PDF]
Microsatellite loci are widely used in population genetic studies, but the presence of null alleles may lead to biased results. Here we assessed five methods that indirectly detect null alleles, and found large inconsistencies among them.

Evolutionary ecology of opsin gene sequence, expression and repertoire. [PDF]
Linking molecular evolution to biological function is a long-standing challenge in evolutionary biology. Some of the best examples of this involve opsins, the genes that encode the molecular basis of light reception.
