Selective advantage for sexual reproduction with random haploid fusion [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2007
This paper develops a simplified set of models describing asexual and sexual replication in unicel- lular diploid organisms. The models assume organisms whose genomes consist of two chromosomes, where each chromosome is assumed to be functional if it is equal to some master sequence $ \sigma_0 $, and non-functional otherwise.

Mitochondrial DNA disorders in neuromuscular diseases in diverse populations

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
Abstract Neuromuscular features are common in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) disorders. The genetic architecture of mtDNA disorders in diverse populations is poorly understood. We analysed mtDNA variants from whole‐exome sequencing data in neuromuscular patients from South Africa, Brazil, India, Turkey and Zambia. In 998 individuals, there were two definite

Sex determination by reference to dental plaster casts of young adults

open access: yesAustralasian Orthodontic Journal, 1989
Dental plaster casts of young Caucasians were examined by dentists with the objective of determining the sex of the subjects from whom they were taken. The first hypothesis tested was that dentists cannot distinguish the sexes, and second, that dentists ...

Calcium modulating ligand confers risk for Parkinson's disease and impacts lysosomes

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Several genetic loci known to confer risk for Parkinson's disease (PD) function in lysosomal pathways. We systematically screened common variants linked to PD risk by genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) for impact on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) proteins reflecting lysosomal function.

Human Sexual Cycles are Driven by Culture and Match Collective Moods [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2017
It is a long-standing question whether human sexual and reproductive cycles are affected predominantly by biology or culture. The literature is mixed with respect to whether biological or cultural factors best explain the reproduction cycle phenomenon, with biological explanations dominating the argument.

Epigenome‐wide association study, meta‐analysis, and multiscore profiling of whole blood in Parkinson's disease

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives An increasing body of evidence indicates altered DNA methylation in Parkinson's disease, yet the reproducibility and utility of such methylation changes are largely unexplored. We aimed to further elucidate the role of dysregulated DNA methylation in Parkinson's disease and to evaluate the biomarker potential of methylation‐based ...
