Application of a single-objective, hybrid genetic algorithm approach to pharmacokinetic model building. [PDF]
A limitation in traditional stepwise population pharmacokinetic model building is the difficulty in handling interactions between model components. To address this issue, a method was previously introduced which couples NONMEM parameter estimation and ...

Genetic model misspecification in genetic association studies [PDF]
The underlying model of the genetic determinant of a trait is generally not known with certainty a priori. Hence, in genetic association studies, a dominant model might be erroneously modelled as additive, an error investigated previously. We explored this question, for candidate gene studies, by evaluating the sample size required to compensate for ...

Genetic models of focal epilepsies [PDF]
Focal epilepsies were for a long time thought to be acquired disorders secondary to cerebral lesions. However, the important role of genetic factors in focal epilepsies is now well established. Several focal epilepsy syndromes are now proven to be monogenic disorders.

Genetic Models of Leukemia in Zebrafish [PDF]
The zebrafish animal model is gaining increasing popularity as a tool for studying human disease. Over the past 15 years, many models of leukemia and other hematological malignancies have been developed in the zebrafish. These confer some significant advantages over similar models in other animals and systems, representing a powerful resource for ...

The Platelet as a Model for Chemical Genetics [PDF]
Chemical genetics is an emerging strategy in chemical biology that promises to bring the power of true genetics to mammalian systems and facilitate the transfer of biological discoveries to therapeutics. The platelet is an anucleate cell with several features that render it suitable for chemical genetic analysis.

The Neolithic transition in Europe: archaeological models and genetic evidence [PDF]
The major pattern in the European gene pool is a southeast-northwest frequency gradient of classic genetic markers such as blood groups, which population geneticists initially attributed to the demographic impact of Neolithic farmers dispersing from the ...

Genetic and environmental links between self-reports and parent-reports of child personality [PDF]
Personality ratings have been consistently found to be reliable and moderately heritable, but interrater agreement between self- and other-report of personality are low-to-moderate, particularly in childhood samples. The current study aims to examine the

Combining polynomial chaos expansions and genetic algorithm for the coupling of electrophysiological models [PDF]
The number of computational models in cardiac research has grown over the last decades. Every year new models with di erent assumptions appear in the literature dealing with di erences in interspecies cardiac properties.

On Flexible finite polygenic models for multiple-trait evaluation [PDF]
Finite polygenic models (FPM) might be an alternative to the infinitesimal model (TIM) for the genetic evaluation of pedigreed multiple-generation populations for multiple quantitative traits.
