Confidentiality and sharing genetic information with relatives.
A cluster of reports in the second half of 2009 highlighted the importance of incorporating genetic developments into mainstream medicine, and recommended that the ethicolegal implications of so doing are carefully explored. A genetic test in one person can reveal information about risk of disease for relatives and can therefore have important implications for their medical management. The succ...
متن کاملSex-Specific Crossover Distributions and Variations in Interference Level along Arabidopsis thaliana Chromosome 4
In many species, sex-related differences in crossover (CO) rates have been described at chromosomal and regional levels. In this study, we determined the CO distribution along the entire Arabidopsis thaliana Chromosome 4 (18 Mb) in male and female meiosis, using high density genetic maps built on large backcross populations (44 markers, >1,300 plants). We observed dramatic differences between m...
متن کاملCrossover interference underlies sex differences in recombination rates.
In many organisms, recombination rates differ between the two sexes. Here we show that in mice, this is because of a shorter genomic interference distance in females than in males, measured in Mb. However, the interference distance is the same in terms of bivalent length. We propose a model in which the interference distance in the two sexes reflects the compaction of chromosomes at the pachyte...
متن کاملUsing sex-averaged genetic maps in multipoint linkage analysis when identity-by-descent status is incompletely known.
The ratio of male and female genetic map distances varies dramatically across the human genome. Despite these sex differences in genetic map distances, most multipoint linkage analyses use sex-averaged genetic maps. We investigated the impact of using a sex-averaged genetic map instead of sex-specific maps for multipoint linkage analysis of affected sibling pairs when identity-by-descent states...
متن کاملLife and Its Close Relatives
When driven by an external thermodynamic gradient, nonbiological physical systems can exhibit a wide range of behaviours usually associated with living systems. Consequently, Artificial Life researchers should be open to the possibility that there is no hard-and-fast distinction between the biological and the physical. This suggests a novel field of research: the application of biologists’ meth...
