Comparing Suffering Across Species
Moral life often presents us with trade-offs between the sufferings of some individuals and the sufferings of others. Researchers may need to consider, for example, whether the suffering imposed on animals by a certain line of medical experimentation justifies the relief that the resulting discoveries may bring to (human or non-human) others. Often in such cases, the suffering of some individua...
متن کاملHOMGL - comparing genelists across species and with different accession numbers
UNLABELLED Homology Gene List (HOMGL) is a web-based tool for comparing gene lists with different accession numbers and identifiers and between different organisms. UniGene, LocusLink, HomoloGene and Ensembl databases are utilized to map between these lists and to retrieve upstream or transcribed sequences for genes in these lists. We illustrate the use of HOMGL with respect to microarray studi...
متن کاملQuantifying and comparing constitutive immunity across avian species.
Studies that blend a comparative approach to immunology with an appreciation for physiological ecology are defining an important new field in biology--ecological immunology. However, a panel of assays that permits a comparative approach to immunology is not yet available. In this paper, we describe several assays of innate immunity that do not require species-specific reagents and therefore ide...
متن کاملComparing Patterns of Natural Selection across Species Using Selective Signatures
Comparing gene expression profiles over many different conditions has led to insights that were not obvious from single experiments. In the same way, comparing patterns of natural selection across a set of ecologically distinct species may extend what can be learned from individual genome-wide surveys. Toward this end, we show how variation in protein evolutionary rates, after correcting for ge...
متن کاملComparing mammographic measures across populations.
Mammography reveals wide variation among women in the composition and structure of the breast, reflecting the cumulative effects of genetic and environmental exposures that may also play roles in breast carcinogenesis (1,2). Mammographic density (MD), one measure of the characteristics of the image, reflects the relative representation of radiodense epithelial and stromal tissues and radiolucen...
