Hybridization Screening of Very Short PCR Products for Paleoepidemiological Studies of Chagas’ Disease [PDF]

BioTechniques, 2001
Des brins uniques de produits PCR très courts peuvent être immobilisés de manière covalente sur une lame, puis facilement détectés par hybridation de sonde. Dans ce travail, le produit de PCR était un segment de 70 nucléotides d'ADN ancien, représentant une portion d'ADN mini-circulaire répété du kinétoplaste de Trypanosoma cruzi, l'agent infectieux de

A paleoepidemiological approach to the osteological paradox: Investigating stress, frailty and resilience through cribra orbitalia [PDF]

American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 2020
AbstractObjectivesThe Osteological Paradox posits that skeletal lesions may differentially be interpreted as representing resilience or frailty. However, specific consideration of the etiologies and demographic distributions of individual skeletal indicators can inform the criteria on which to differentiate stress, frailty, and resilience.
