Blood was collected from the jugular vein of sheep in ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid-treated VACUTAINER tubes (Becton Dickinson and Company, Mountain View, CA) and PBMCs were isolated using 54% isotonic PERCOLL (GE Healthcare AB, Piscataway, NJ), as described previously.46 Sheeps were ...
This chapter examines the size, geographic distribution, and selected characteristics of the Jewish population of the US. Section 5.1 addresses the procedures employed to estimate the Jewish population of more than 900 local Jewish communities and parts thereof. Section 5.2 presents the major changes ...

This assay unambiguously identifies two of the primary alleles in the population, which are about 50% common overall. For ambiguous genotypes, the individuals were then analyzed with SSCP (Amersham Biosciences, Piscataway, NJ, USA) and unique banding patterns were cloned and sequenced to identify ...
Blood was diluted in 1× PBS in a 1:1 ratio and MNCs were isolated by density gradient centrifugation using Percoll gradient (GE Life Sciences, Piscataway, NJ, USA) [24]. MNCs obtained after the Percoll gradient separation were washed twice in 1× PBS and resuspended with CD34 antibody-...
Dried blood spots were prepared by dropping 125 µl ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)-anticoagulated whole blood onto Whatman™ FTA™ Classic Cards (GE Healthcare Life Sciences, Piscataway, NJ, USA). Cards were dried away from direct sunlight, placed into individual zip bags with ...
During the past decade, cognitive neuroscience has been calling for population diversity to address the challenge of validity and generalizability, ushering in a new era of population neuroscience. The developing Chinese Color Nest Project (devCCNP, 2013
