  • Genomics plays an essential role in the detection of these genetic variations. (pharmiweb.com)
  • Its ability to cater specifically to the genetic variations prevalent in the Asia-Pacific region sets it apart from conventional solutions. (imanetwork.org)
  • Between 1 and 6 amino acid variations were observed in the TH2R and TH3R epitope regions of PfCSP. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Diagnosis is made by confirming a deletion in the WHS critical region (WHSCR) using conventional chromosome analysis, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), or chromosomal microarray. (medscape.com)
  • Centromeres and pseudoautosomal regions (PARs) are highly specialized chromatin domains that are indispensable for proper chromosome segregation. (jax.org)
  • The PAR is a region of conserved sequence identity between the X and Y chromosomes over which the meiotic program of pairing, synapsis, and recombination unfolds to ensure correct sex chromosome segregation. (jax.org)
  • The core phenotype maps within the terminal 1.9 Mb region of chromosome 4p. (medscape.com)
  • They build on a 2020 Nature Communications study by Cole and her colleagues that used data from the U.K. Biobank, a public database of the genetic and health information of 500,000 participants. (scientificamerican.com)
  • Delivered through the Xdrop ® platform, Samplix enables scientists to investigate in depth any genomic region of any species , enabling the enrichment of complex, including unknown, genomic regions. (lpmhealthcare.com)
  • The information was used to determine the genetic basis of the contrasting adaptation characteristics of lentils from the three main growing regions. (saskpulse.com)
  • This difference in complexity led scientists to speculate that proteins, with their larger variety of building blocks, might be better suited to carry genetic information. (proprofs.com)
  • By identifying genetic risk factors associated with major depressive disorder, the scientists hope to increase our understanding of why depression strikes some people and not others. (mentalfloss.com)
  • Through deep genetic analyses, Stanford Medicine scientists and their collaborators have found conclusive scientific evidence of contact between ancient Polynesians and Native Americans from the region that is now Colombia - something that's been hotly contested in the historic and archaeological world for decades. (stanford.edu)
  • This SWOT analysis and the developed guiding reference highlight the need for scientists/clinicians to be well-versed in ethics and data protection policy to advance sport and exercise genomics without compromising the privacy of athletes and the efforts of international sports federations. (bmj.com)
  • In this review, we first propose a framework along with detailed procedures to aid collaboration among scientists, agencies, and local and regional managers during the decision-making process of genomics-guided AM. We then summarize the genomic approaches for applying AM, followed by a literature search of existing incorporation of genomics in AM across taxa. (critfc.org)
