Marker-of-self becomes marker-of-senescence [PDF]
Blood, 2012 In this issue of Blood , Burger et al provide compelling in vitro evidence that phagocytic uptake of aged human erythrocytes is promoted by the marker of self CD47 in complex with the serum factor thrombospondin-1.[1][1] CD47 is expressed on cells of all types and binds and signals to SIRPα ...

What Makes a Marker a Good Marker? [PDF]
Brain, Behavior and Evolution, 2014 To validate if DCX truly predicts neuron recruitment throughout the canary brain, it should correlate to a high degree with established methods for studying neuron recruitment, such as labeling cells with the mitotic marker 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine (BrdU).

Handling Marker-Marker Linkage Disequilibrium: Pedigree Analysis with Clustered Markers [PDF]
The American Journal of Human Genetics, 2005 Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are rapidly replacing microsatellites as the markers of choice for genetic linkage studies and many other studies of human pedigrees. Here, we describe an efficient approach for modeling linkage disequilibrium (LD) between markers during multipoint analysis of human pedigrees.
