Specialization in linguistics vs. biological informatics leads to widespread misunderstandings and false results caused by poor knowledge of the essential conditions of the respective methods and data applied. These are analyzed and the insights used to assess the recent glut of attempts to employ methods from biological informatics in establishing new phylogenies of Indo-European languages.

in a preliminary study, descriptive cross sectional, knowledge of 550 general practitioners, pediatrics and gynecology residents were evaluated in relation to medical genetics. a questionnaire was developed by researchers, and based on bloom's taxonomy; the lowest learning level (i.e. knowledge) was developed as multiple choices. nonrandom sampling (convenience sampling) was conducted that was ...

The aim of the present study was the genetic analysis of the Dniester population of sterlet Acipenser ruthenus and comparison of it to five other sterlet populations, in order to develop a population recovery plan. The genetic analysis of six sterlet populations from Eurasian rivers (Dniester, Dnieper, Danube, Volga, Kama and Ob) was carried out using microsatellite DNA markers. The genetic var...

the objective of this study was to estimate genetic parameters coupled with genetic and phonotypic trends for age at first calving (afc), open days(od) and milk yield(my) of first lactation in iranian holstein cows. records of reproduction and production for genetic evaluation from 1984 to 2005 for afc, od and my were 71736, 20126 and 20126, respectively. single and two-variable animal models w...

background tuberculosis (tb) is one of the earliest human diseases which still is considered a public health problem. both genetic and environmental factors may contribute the susceptibility to tuberculosis. objectives akt is a serine/threonine kinase that has an important role in several cellular processes such as cell cycle control, cell survival, and cellular immigration. the akt signaling p...

background almost one-third of the world's population is infected with mycobacterium tuberculosis, but only 10% of them develop tuberculosis. tnf-α/il-10 balance has key roles in controlling latent/activation stages of tuberculosis. objectives the objective of this study was to determine an association between polymorphic variants of the tnf-α and il-10 genes and tuberculosis. patients and meth...
