Experts weigh in on the definition of disorganized attachment style, how to identify it in yourself and others, and how to improve your relationships.
Meta-QTL were often found in different regions of a single chromosome for the fat trait groups, but the exact number of QTL was not always obvious. As an example, for carcass fat, the Meta-QTL regions were on the same chromosome in nearby regions, namely at 3.5 Mb and 6.5 Mb on BT...
The nutrient-rich environment of the human intestinal tract harbors up to 100 trillion microbes [1]. Sterile at birth, our colon becomes densely populated with microbes, in the range of 1011–1012cells/ml, the highest recorded density for any microbial habitat [2]. These microbes become an in...
Identifying homology between sex chromosomes of different species is essential to understanding the evolution of sex determination. Here, we show that the identity of a homomorphic sex chromosome pair can be established using a linkage map, without infor
GWAS of plasma proteins have revealed genetic variants linked to these proteins, known as “protein quantitative trait loci (pQTLs)” [14]. With the advancement of GWASs in investigating the human plasma proteome, an optimization framework integrating genomic and proteomic databases has emerged for ...
What is the function of the quaternary structure of proteins? Describe three different kinds of schemas, giving an example of their role in a person's memory? Explain how the structure of the gastrointestinal tract is related to it's functions. ...
a violation of the null hypothesis that imputed expression of a given gene affects the individual traits strictly via the factor. LargerQGenestatistics occur when gene expression is highly specific to an individual trait or when the gene expression effect is directionally opposing across traits. Thus...
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease with a lifetime risk of one in 350 people and an unmet need for disease-modifying therapies. We conducted a cross-ancestry genome-wide association study (GWAS) including 29,612 patients with ALS and 122,656 controls, which...
of a peptide, are < 0. Peptides with hydropathy scores < 0 are highly hydrophilic and tend to form flexible structures with other molecules [33,34]. The secondary structure of PLs exhibits varying proportions of α, β, and distorted regions. For example, PgPLA2-1 displays the ...
Fig. 1: Annotation of an example ECG signal. QRS duration and the JT interval approximate the time periods for ventricular depolarization and repolarization on the surface ECG. The entire segment from onset of the Q wave to end of the T wave is the QT interval. Full size image QT and JT...
