Apocalypse...now? Molecular epidemiology, predictive genetic tests, and social communication of genetic contents.
The author analyzes the underlying theoretical aspects in the construction of the molecular watershed of epidemiology and the concept of genetic risk, focusing on issues raised by contemporary reality: new technologies, globalization, proliferation of communications strategies, and the dilution of identity matrices. He discusses problems pertaining to the establishment of such new interdiscipli...
متن کاملGenetic ancestry and molecular epidemiology.
It is hard to believe that as recently as a decade ago, some of us were finding it virtually impossible to get an epidemiologic study funded from the National Cancer Institute if it required collection and analysis of DNA. Now, it is virtually impossible to get anything funded if you do not! The rapid transformation of epidemiology into the molecular world has been so swift and dramatic that by...

molecular genetic tests for cms: congenital
like myasthenia gravis, congenital myasthenic syndrome (cms) produces weakness and fatigue caused by problems at the neuromuscular junction but while mg is autoimmune, cms is an inherited disease caused by defective genes. genes defective in cms are required for making the ach receptor or other components of the neuromuscular junction. cmss are inherited in an ar, or, less frequently, ad manner...
متن کاملautomatic verification of authentication protocols using genetic programming
implicit and unobserved errors and vulnerabilities issues usually arise in cryptographic protocols and especially in authentication protocols. this may enable an attacker to make serious damages to the desired system, such as having the access to or changing secret documents, interfering in bank transactions, having access to users’ accounts, or may be having the control all over the syste...
