The Golden Age of Human Population Genetics

Population genetics of ice age brown bears.

The Pleistocene was a dynamic period for Holarctic mammal species, complicated by episodes of glaciation, local extinctions, and intercontinental migration. The genetic consequences of these events are difficult to resolve from the study of present-day populations. To provide a direct view of population genetics in the late Pleistocene, we measured mitochondrial DNA sequence variation in seven ...

The Golden Age of AI

The Golden Age of Microanalysis.

The history of electron probe analysis in the USA in its first two decades is reviewed, with reference to the personalities which were involved, the development of instrumentation and theory, and the technical problems and limitations of that era.

the genetics of age-related macular degeneration

age-related macular degeneration (amd) is the leading cause of blindness in old subjects. it is a multifactorial disease with both environmental and genetic factors playing some role in its pathogenesis. similar to many other genetic diseases, the inheritance pattern of amd does not fit into simple mendelian rules. these diseases are caused by the presence of multiple genetic factors and are ca...
