The evolution of monogamy in humans [PDF]
Sexual behaviours are likely to have evolvedunder strong selective pressures since they aredirectly related to the breeding success of indi-viduals.It is striking that the sexual behaviour ofhumans diVers so markedly from that of thetwo chimpanzee species with which we sharemore than 99% of our genome.

ABSTRACT Background Patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis commonly experience reduced physical function, fatigue, poor sleep quality, and impaired health‐related quality of life. Intradialytic exercise has been proposed as a non‐pharmacological strategy to improve these outcomes.

Is there evidence for convergent evolution around human microsatellites?
A study by Vowles and Amos (2004) identified atypical patterns of base composition around human microsatellites and argued that microsatellites generate mutational biases in their flanking regions.

ABSTRACT Background Chronic micro‐inflammation in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) is a significant driver of cardiovascular complications and diminished quality of life. While standard hemodialysis (SHD) effectively manages small‐molecule clearance, its ability to remove medium‐to‐large uremic toxins—the primary catalysts of systemic ...

Fluorescence in situ hybridization to chromosomes as a tool to understand human and primate genome evolution [PDF]
For the last 15 years molecular cytogenetic techniques have been extensively used to study primate evolution. Molecular probes were helpful to distinguish mammalian chromosomes and chromosome segments on the basis of their DNA content rather than solely ...
