A comparative study of endoderm differentiation in humans and chimpanzees
Background There is substantial interest in the evolutionary forces that shaped the regulatory framework in early human development. Progress in this area has been slow because it is difficult to obtain relevant biological samples.

Construction and Functional Analysis of Human Genetic Interaction Networks with Genome-wide Association Data [PDF]
Genetic interaction measures how different genes collectively contribute to a phenotype, and can reveal functional compensation and buffering between pathways under genetic perturbations. Recently, genome-wide screening for genetic interactions has revealed genetic interaction networks that provide novel insights either when analyzed by themselves or ...

Population Fitness and Genetic Load of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms Affecting mRNA splicing [PDF]
Deleterious genetic variants can be evaluated as quantitative traits using information theory-based sequence analysis of recognition sites. To assess the effect of such variants, fitness and genetic load of SNPs which alter binding site affinity are derived from changes in individual information and allele frequencies.

PhysicsGP: A Genetic Programming Approach to Event Selection [PDF]
We present a novel multivariate classification technique based on Genetic Programming. The technique is distinct from Genetic Algorithms and offers several advantages compared to Neural Networks and Support Vector Machines. The technique optimizes a set of human-readable classifiers with respect to some user-defined performance measure.

Y chromosome damage underlies testicular abnormalities in ATR-X syndrome
Summary: ATR-X (alpha thalassemia, mental retardation, X-linked) syndrome features genital and testicular abnormalities including atypical genitalia and small testes with few seminiferous tubules. Our mouse model recapitulated the testicular defects when

Environmental Disorder Regulation of Invasion and Genetic Loss [PDF]
Many physical and natural systems, including the population of species, evolve in habitats with spatial stochastic variations of the individuals' motility. We study here the effect of those fluctuations on invasion and genetic loss. A Langevin equation for the \textit{position} and \textit{border} of the invasion front is obtained. A striking result is

Asthenoteratozoospermia, a prevalent cause of male infertility, lacks a well-defined etiology. DNAH12 is a special dynein featured by the absence of a microtubule-binding domain, however, its functions in spermatogenesis remain largely unknown.

Genes involved in human growth consist of major growth genes and minor growth genes. Major growth genes have fundamental effects on human growth, and their mutations cause growth failure (or overgrowth) which are recognizable as single gene disorders.
