FOXP2 targets show evidence of positive selection in European populations.

Forkhead box P2 (FOXP2) is a highly conserved transcription factor that has been implicated in human speech and language disorders and plays important roles in the plasticity of the developing brain. The pattern of nucleotide polymorphisms in FOXP2 in modern populations suggests that it has been the target of positive (Darwinian) selection during recent human evolution. In our study, we searche...

Varicocele Time-dependently Affects DNA Integrity of Sperm Cells: Evidence for Lower In vitro Fertilization Rate in Varicocele-positive Rats

Show a Little Style

A short segment on Alice has been used in introductory programming classes. The intent was to introduce objects in an easily accessible way. In the third iteration of this approach a presentation was made on quality issues in dramatics. The students were instructed on how to make the video more entertaining. Although this may be accomplished in a class hour or less, the results were encouraging...

Mammalian sperm proteins are rapidly evolving: evidence of positive selection in functionally diverse genes.

A growing number of genes involved in sex and reproduction have been demonstrated to be rapidly evolving. Here, we show that genes expressed solely in spermatozoa represent a highly diverged subset among mouse and human tissue-specific orthologs. The average rate of nonsynonymous substitutions per site (K(a)) is significantly higher in sperm proteins (mean K(a) = 0.18; N = 35) than in proteins ...
