Assessing the potential success of cystic fibrosis carrier screening: lessons learned from Tay-Sachs disease and beta-thalassemia.

Abstract The objective of this study was to identify factors involved in the success of 2 well-established population-based carrier screening programs - Tay-Sachs disease (TSD) in Ashkenazi Jews and beta-thalassemia…

Quaternary history and contemporary patterns in a currently expanding species.

Abstract Quaternary climatic oscillations had dramatic effects on species evolution. In northern latitudes, populations had to survive the coldest periods in refugial areas and recurrently colonized northern regions during interglacials.…

SOX1 links the function of neural patterning and Notch signalling in the ventral spinal cord during the neuron-glial fate switch.

Abstract During neural development the transition from neurogenesis to gliogenesis, known as the neuron-glial (Nu/G) fate switch, requires the coordinated function of patterning factors, pro-glial factors and Notch signalling. How…
