Pneumoviruses: Molecular Genetics and Reverse Genetics

Pneumoviruses are responsible for significant respiratory disease in their hosts and represent a major problemfor human and animal health. Pneumoviruses are members of the family Paramyxoviridae, subfamilyPneumovirinae and the virus particles consist of a negative-sense, nonsegmented RNA genome within a helical nucleocapsid structure enveloped in a lipid membrane derived from the ho...

The genetics of psoriasis--selected novelties in 2008.

The genetic background of psoriasis is clearly demonstrated by the familial occurrence, data from epidemiological studies, twin studies, and results of genome-wide scan investigations. In the last years, molecular genetics analyses have permitted new insights into psoriasis. A number of studies indicate the likely genomic location of psoriasis susceptibility genes and suggest their possible ide...

Genetics and Evolution—Selected Papers of A. H. Sturtevant

sented in London by scientists from more than forty countries. Eightyeight articles are written in English. This abundance of data becomes available while these investigations are vitally fresh and still in progress. Of unique value are reports in similar investigative fields but from widely separated medical centers. Non-goitrous cretinism in Switzerland, goitrous cretinism in the Uele region,...

Artificial intelligence & genetics

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the development of computer systems that are able to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a wide-ranging tool that enables people to rethink how we integrate information, analyze data, and use the resulting insights to improve decision making—and already it is transforming every walk of life. AI has application...
