Inference of Ancient Black Mexican Tribes and DNA
Abstract : Background: Controversy surrounds the time period when Indigenous Mexican-African admixture occurred. Most researchers assume this admixture took place after the Atlantic Slave Trade. But, Spanish eyewitness accounts, Mayan skeletons with sickle cell anemia, and West African skeletal remains generally,indicate that the..

A Quantitative Comparison of Growth and Carcass Traits from Crossbred Calves Sired by a Modern Phenotype Paternal Breed Versus Calves Sired by a Multi-Generational Maternal Breed
Introduction: Dramatic improvements in the beef cattle industry have been made over the last five decades. Specifically, the Angus breed has evolved from a small framed maternal breed to a breed with greater muscling and growth characteristics. Major increases have been observed in traits such as birth weight, weaning weight, yearli..

Evaluation of Candidate Genes and Subsequent Effects Growth and Carcass Traits in Multi-Generational Sired and Modern Sired Angus Females
Abstract: The objective of the current study was to evaluate phenotypic differences and SNP located on three candidate genes for possible associations with growth and carcass traits in a population of Angus cows sired by modern phenotype Angus bulls and multi-generational Angus bulls born from 1960-2006. Quantitative analyses re..

A New PCR-RFLP Method for Diagnosing PNPLA3 rs738409 Polymorphism
Summary: Background:PNPLA3 rs738409 (C10109G) polymorphism has been identified as a predisposingfactor for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, fibrosis, alcoholic cirrhosis and elevation of serumalanine transaminase in the human. However, no simple method for its assay is available. Hence, this research work was undertaken to dev..

Origin of the Niger-Congo Speakers
Abstract: The Niger-Congo (NC) Superfamily of languages is the largest family of languages spoken in Africa. Researchers have assumed that the NC speakers originated in West Africa in the Inland Niger Delta. The research indicates that the NC speakers originated in the Saharan Highlands 12kya and belonged to the Ounanian culture..

The Evolution Of Alu Mutations In The Human Genome
Abstract: The article reports the frequency distributions of the mutants of Alu elements in the human genome. They are remarkably complex and, yet, almost identical for each chromosome, suggesting a universal mechanism for base substitutions in Alu-elements and, possibly, other retro-transposons as well. Conceivably, these mutat..

Fine Mapping of an Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Modifier Locus to a Single BAC
Abstract: Mutations in the Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) gene are responsible for 15-20% of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FALS) cases. Severity of the ALS phenotype is dependent on genetic background for mice carrying the mG86R SOD1 transgene. A BAC (149m19) containing several candidate genes (Serf, Smn, Naip2..

Is the SPINK1 p.Asn34Ser Missense Mutation Per se the True Culprit within its Associated Haplotype?
Abstract : Although SPINK1, which encodes the pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor (PSTI), has been firmly established as a chronic pancreatitis-predisposing gene, the causal variant within the most common c.101A>G (p.Asn34Ser)-containing haplotype remains to be identified. The low penetrance of this haplotype implies a minor e..
