linkage studies and epidemiological findings indicate that some possible genes in schizophrenia (scz) and bipolar mood disorder (bpd) are common. numerous evidences for linkage of two diseases on chromosome 22 have been found. these findings suggest that one or more genes in the 22q11.21 region may be involved in the development of both disorders. in the present case-control study, association ...

the domesticated silkworm, bombyx mori, is of high commercial importance as a silk producer and is also widely used for implementation of basic and applied research. it is important to understand its genome organization using molecular markers for genetic studies and for breeding purposes. in this study, a genetic linkage map using 204 amplified fragment length polymorphism (aflp) markers was d...
