Genetic and Teratogenic Approaches To Craniofacial Development

Genetic Approaches to Facilitate Antibacterial Drug Development.

Very few chemically novel agents have been approved for antibacterial chemotherapies during the last 50 yr. Yet new antibacterial drugs are needed to reduce the impact on global health of an increasing number of drug-resistant infections, including highly drug-resistant forms of tuberculosis. This review discusses how genetic approaches can be used to study the mechanism of action of whole-cell...

Approaches to sustainable development of arid regions

Interest in arid ecosystems as a source of food supply for rapidly increasing population of the world, on the one hand, and the problems pertaining to the climatic characteristics, water shortages and soil sensitivity for the inhabitants in such areas, on the other have prompted efforts at both national and international levels to develop a better understanding of these problems as well as to f...

Theoretical approaches to the evolution of development and genetic architecture.

Developmental evolutionary biology has, in the past decade, started to move beyond simply adapting traditional population and quantitative genetics models and has begun to develop mathematical approaches that are designed specifically to study the evolution of complex, nonadditive systems. This article first reviews some of these methods, discussing their strengths and shortcomings. The article...
