The title of this Symposium ‘From Mendel’s factors to the genetic code’ emphasizes a single aspect of genetic research. That is unfortunate in a subject of such wide scope. Even in the most general terms, it naturally involves far more than analysing the fine structure of the genetic material and the physiological paths by which the genes ...

Association of prothrombin, FV Leiden and MTHFR gene polymorphisms in the Montenegrin patients with venous thromboembolism [PDF]
Background/Aim. Polymorphisms of the factor V Leiden (FV G1691A), prothrombin (FII G20210A), and methylene-tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR C677T) genes are the most commonly investigated inherited risk factors for developing venous thromboembolism (VTE)

Polymorphism of Genetic Ambigrams [PDF]
AbstractDouble synonyms in the genetic code can be used as a tool to test competing hypotheses regarding ambigrammatic narnavirus genomes. Applying the analysis to recent observations ofCulex narnavirus 1andZhejiang mosquito virus 3ambigrammatic viruses indicates that the open reading frame on the complementary strand of the segment coding for RNA ...
