General quantitative genetic methods for comparative biology: phylogenies, taxonomies and multi-trait models for continuous and categorical characters [PDF]
Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2010 AbstractAlthough many of the statistical techniques used in comparative biology were originally developed in quantitative genetics, subsequent development of comparative techniques has progressed in relative isolation. Consequently, many of the new and planned developments in comparative analysis already have well-tested solutions in quantitative ...

Methods of In Situ Quantitative Root Biology [PDF]
Plants, 2021 When dealing with plant roots, a multiscale description of the functional root structure is needed. Since the beginning of 21st century, new devices such as laser confocal microscopes have been accessible for coarse root structure measurements, including three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction.

A quantitative risk assessment method for synthetic biology products in the environment [PDF]
, 2021 The need to prevent possible adverse environmental health impacts resulting from synthetic biology (SynBio) products is widely acknowledged in both the SynBio risk literature and the global regulatory community. However, discussions of potential risks of SynBio products have been largely speculative, and the attempts to characterize the risks of SynBio

Advances in quantitative biology methods for studying replicative aging in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Translational Medicine of Aging, 2020 Aging is a complex, yet pervasive phenomenon in biology. As human cells steadily succumb to the deteriorating effects of aging, so too comes a host of age-related ailments such as neurodegenerative disorders, cardiovascular disease and cancer. Therefore, elucidation of the molecular networks that drive aging is of paramount importance to human health ...

A quantitative method to establish the clinical evolution of HIV infected patients and the reproductive biology of an echinoid species from Brazil [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2009 AIDS is one of the several diseases that affect the human being. Vast amount of resources are being spent by governments to develop new drugs and therapies for the treatment of infected individuals with distinct results (e.g., Scherer et al. 2007). However, although several antiviral drugs have proved to successfully reduce the advance of the virus in ...
