Genomic Contextualism: Shifting the Rhetoric of Genetic Exceptionalism

The Shifting Rhetoric of Insurance Denial

Genetic exceptionalism and legislative pragmatism.

Genetic-specific nondiscrimination laws have been enacted in most states, but the laws are ineffective and increase the stigma of genetic conditions. Whether these laws are better than no new legislation depends on their consequences and a recognition of their limitations.

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...

Against Genetic Exceptionalism: An Argument in Favor of the Viability of Preconception Genetic Torts

The Impact of Different Genetic Architectures on Accuracy of Genomic Selection Using Three Bayesian Methods

Genome-wide evaluation uses the associations of a large number of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers across the whole genome and then combines the statistical methods with genomic data to predict the genetic values. Genomic predictions relieson linkage disequilibrium (LD) between genetic markers and quantitative trait loci (QTL) in a population. Methods that use all markers simultaneo...
