13. As técnicas biomédicas - A vida embrionária e o patrimônio genético humano - À luz da regra da proporcionalidade penal
Genetics develops rapidly, with emphasis on genes and cells manipulation, facilitated by assisted reproduction. Besides its benefits (or expectations), new risks are added, because it deals with experimental techniques. In order to control such activities, an appeal is made to Criminal Law, which in order to control abuse or excess, makes use of the proporti

15. The relevance of genetic analysis to dairy bacteria: building upon our heritage
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are essential for the manufacture of fermented dairy products. Studies on the physiology, biochemistry and genetics of these microorganisms over the last century have contributed considerably to the improvement of fermentation processes and have resulted in better and safer products. Nevertheless, the potential of LAB is far from b

16. Paternal and maternal DNA lineages reveal a bottleneck in the founding of the Finnish population.
An analysis of Y-chromosomal haplotypes in several European populations reveals an almost monomorphic pattern in the Finns, whereas Y-chromosomal diversity is significantly higher in other populations. Furthermore, analyses of nucleotide positions in the mitochondrial control region that evolve slowly show a decrease in genetic diversity in Finns. Thus, rela

17. Genetic evidence for different male and female roles during cultural transitions in the British Isles
Human history is punctuated by periods of rapid cultural change. Although archeologists have developed a range of models to describe cultural transitions, in most real examples we do not know whether the processes involved the movement of people or the movement of culture only. With a series of relatively well defined cultural transitions, the British I

18. The Genetic Heritage of the Earliest Settlers Persists Both in Indian Tribal and Caste Populations
Two tribal groups from southern India—the Chenchus and Koyas—were analyzed for variation in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), the Y chromosome, and one autosomal locus and were compared with six caste groups from different parts of India, as well as with western and central Asians. In mtDNA phylogenetic analyses, the Chenchus and Koyas coalesce at Indian-specif

19. Origins and Divergence of the Roma (Gypsies)
The identification of a growing number of novel Mendelian disorders and private mutations in the Roma (Gypsies) points to their unique genetic heritage. Linguistic evidence suggests that they are of diverse Indian origins. Their social structure within Europe resembles that of the jatis of India, where the endogamous group, often defined by profession, is th

20. A Duplication in Chromosome 4q35 Is Associated with Hereditary Benign Intraepithelial Dyskeratosis
Hereditary benign intraepithelial dyskeratosis (HBID) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by elevated epithelial plaques on the ocular and oral mucous membranes. It has been reported primarily, but not exclusively, in individuals of American Indian heritage in North Carolina. We have examined and obtained DNA on two large families affected by HBI

21. Phylogeography and Genetic Ancestry of Tigers (Panthera tigris)
Eight traditional subspecies of tiger (Panthera tigris), of which three recently became extinct, are commonly recognized on the basis of geographic isolation and morphological characteristics. To investigate the species' evolutionary history and to establish objective methods for subspecies recognition, voucher specimens of blood, skin, hair, and/or skin bio

22. Genetic analysis of resistance to lethal infections of vesicular stomatitis virus in Syrian hamsters.
Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), Indiana serotype, causes a lethal disease in adult Syrian hamsters. Susceptibility to low doses of VSV (10 to 100 plaque-forming units) was shown to be genetically determined by examining six inbred strains. Three strains, LSH, MHA, and CB, were found to be extremely susceptible, with more than 70% of the animals dying withi

23. The impacts of climate change on the annual cycles of birds
Organisms living today are descended from ancestors that experienced considerable climate change in the past. However, they are currently presented with many new, man-made challenges, including rapid climate change. Migration and reproduction of many avian species are controlled by endogenous mechanisms that have been under intense selection over time to ens
