Genetic Twists of Fate Stanley Fields and Mark Johnston

Genetics Twists of Fate Stanley Fields and Mark Johnston, MIT Press, 2011

We are now, apparently, in an age of “personal genomics” brought about by new capabilities for cost-effective whole genome sequencing. There has been a concomitant rise in Direct-toConsumer (DTC) testing through companies such as 23andMe, Knome (pronounced `know me’), deCODE Genetics, and Navigenetics to name but a few. Each of these offers to provide insights into our genetic fate. There also ...

"Death is Different" and Other Twists of Fate

Twists of Hessian Elliptic Curves and Cubic Fields

In this paper we investigate Hesse’s elliptic curves Hμ : U + V 3 + W 3 = 3μUVW,μ ∈ Q − {1}, and construct their twists, Hμ,t over quadratic fields, and H̃(μ, t), μ, t ∈ Q over the Galois closures of cubic fields. We also show that Hμ is a twist of H̃(μ, t) over the related cubic field when the quadratic field is contained in the Galois closure of the cubic field. We utilize a cubic polynomial, R...

phylogeography and genetic diversity of the lesser mouse- eared bat (myotis blythii) in iran

in current study, 63 samples of bat populations collected from differ regions were used for evaluating the geographic variations. twenty cranial and dental characters for traditional morphometric and landmarks method on the ventral, dorsal skull and mandible for geometry morphometric studies were used. statistical analyses of traditional morphometric and geometry morphometric data indicated low...
