Meningiomas: An Overview of the Landscape of Copy Number Alterations in Samples from an Admixed Population

Journal of Oncology, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
Meningiomas are considered the most common intracranial tumors, affecting mainly women. Studies in mixed populations can be of great importance to clarify issues related to the genetic diversity of tumors and their development. Considering that data obtained from analyses of the profile of copy number alterations (CNA) have been a useful diagnostic ...

Predicting animal abundance through local ecological knowledge: An internal validation using consensus analysis

People and Nature, Volume 6, Issue 2, Page 535-547, April 2024.
Abstract Given the ongoing environmental degradation from local to global scales, it is fundamental to develop more efficient means of gathering data on species and ecosystems. Local ecological knowledge, in which local communities can consistently provide information on the status of animal species over time, has been shown to be effective.
