ForestPMPlot: A Flexible Tool for Visualizing Heterogeneity Between Studies in Meta-analysis. [PDF]
Meta-analysis has become a popular tool for genetic association studies to combine different genetic studies. A key challenge in meta-analysis is heterogeneity, or the differences in effect sizes between studies.

Nkx2-5 and Sarcospan genetically interact in the development of the muscular ventricular septum of the heart [PDF]
The muscular ventricular septum separates the flow of oxygenated and de-oxygenated blood in air-breathing vertebrates. Defects within it, termed muscular ventricular septal defects (VSDs), are common, yet less is known about how they arise than rarer ...

Sex differences in glucose metabolism of streptozotocin-induced diabetes inbred mice (C57BL/6J) [PDF]
AbstractConsidering that sex differences in glucose metabolism are observed in mice, researchers unconsciously use male mice to reduce variations by an estrogen cycle in female mice. In this study, we investigated the sex differences in glucose homeostasis in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes inbred mice (C57BL/6J).

To investigate the role of complement C3 (C3) convertase on the strain difference for C3 protein expression in three inbred mice strains, we compared the levels of C2, C3 and C4 mRNA, as well as C3 protein and C3 convertase activity in the serum and ...

Consistent individual differences in some behaviors in mice of the C57Bl/6J inbred strain [PDF]
Mice of the inbred C57Bl/6J strain displayed considerable inter-mice variation in ambulation, rearing, grooming, and defecation in the open-field (coefficients of variation from 30% to 150%). Those differences were not random, because six measurements of the same behavior, taken along six months, were correlated (Kendall coefficients of concordance were ...

Persistence of Leishmania antigen in C57Bl/6j inbred mice infected with Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis [PDF]
To develop an animal model for studying mucocutaneous leishmaniasis.The hind footpad of C57Bl/6j inbred mice was experimentally infected with 10(7) Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis promastigote and the skin was studied through light and electron transmission microscopy and immunohistochemistry (PAP) techniques.There were morphological evidences of ...
