The ethics weathervane

چکیده
BACKGROUND Global collaboration in genomic research is increasingly both a scientific reality and an ethical imperative. This past decade has witnessed the emergence of six new, interconnected areas of ethical consensus and emphasis for policy in genomics: governance, security, empowerment, transparency, the right not to know, and globalization. DISCUSSION The globalization of genomic research warrants an approach to governance policies grounded in human rights. A human rights approach activates the ethical principles underpinning genomic research. It lends force to the right of all citizens to benefit from scientific progress, and to the right of all scientists to be recognized for their contributions.

Characterization of 12 single nucleotide polymorphisms in weathervane scallop
We describe 27 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a commercially important bivalve, the weathervane scallop ( Patinopecten caurinus ), identified using a targeted-gene approach. We further characterize 12 of these using 5′ -nuclease and allele-specific PCR assays. Polymorphisms were identified in both mitochondrial and nuclear genes. These are the first SNPs developed for delineating pop...
متن کاملCharacterization of 16 polymorphic microsatellite loci in weathervane scallop Patinopecten caurinus
Discrete and commercially important patches of weathervane scallops ( Patinopecten caurinus ) are found in the northeastern Pacific Ocean. Little is known about weathervane scallop life history and population structure, but the species is vulnerable to overexploitation because of their large size and long lifespan. Here we describe 16 polymorphic microsatellite loci developed to study the relat...
متن کاملSlow Relaxation Process in Ising like Heisenberg Kagome Antiferromagnets due to Macroscopic Degeneracy in the Ordered State
We study relaxation phenomena in the macroscopically ordered state in the Ising like Heisenberg kagome antiferromagnets. In recent experiments, slow relaxation phenomena have been observed in kagome compounds. We introduce the ”weathervane loop” in order to characterize the ordered state and study the microscopic mechanism of the slow relaxation from a view point of the dynamics of the weatherv...
