Hybrid Vigour? Genes, Genomics, and History
Is the gene 'special' for historians? What effects, if any, has the notion of the 'gene' had on our understanding of history? Certainly, there is a widespread public and professional perception that genetics and history are or should be in dialogue with each other in some way. But historians and geneticists view history and genetics very differently - and assume very different relationships bet...
متن کاملHybrid vigour and maternal environment in mice
A combination of ovarian grafting and fostering was used to study the effects of preand postnatal maternal factors on adult behaviour. Inbred mice (BALB/c and C57BL/6) and F1 hybrids were compared to assess differential sensitivity to early maternal effects. In addition to the peculiar behavioural profile of BALB mice, results revealed the existence of a cognitive process in mice and confirmed ...
متن کاملGenes, Genomes and Genomics
Invited Review: Reproducible and target-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification relies on several interrelated factors of which primer design is central. Here, we describe new free bioinformatics software, the FastPCR which was developed, and continues to be updated, based on detailed experimental studies of PCR efficiency for the optimal design of primers and probe sequences and...
متن کاملIntelligence: genetics, genes, and genomics.
More is known about the genetics of intelligence than about any other trait, behavioral or biological, which is selectively reviewed in this article. Two of the most interesting genetic findings are that heritability of intelligence increases throughout the life span and that the same genes affect diverse cognitive abilities. The most exciting direction for genetic research on intelligence is t...
متن کاملSmall RNAs as important regulators for the hybrid vigour of super-hybrid rice
Heterosis is an important biological phenomenon; however, the role of small RNA (sRNA) in heterosis of hybrid rice remains poorly described. Here, we performed sRNA profiling of F1 super-hybrid rice LYP9 and its parents using high-throughput sequencing technology, and identified 355 distinct mature microRNAs and trans-acting small interfering RNAs, 69 of which were differentially expressed sRNA...
