13. Genetics and sport performance: current challenges and directions to the future
In recent years there has been a great progress in molecular biology techniques, which has facilitated the researches on influence of genetics on human performance. There are specific regions of DNA that can vary between individuals. Such variations (i.e., polymorphisms) may, in part, explain why some individuals have differentiated responses to certain stim

14. RELAGH - the challenge of having a scientific network in Latin America: an account from the presidents
Latin America and the Caribbean region make up one of the largest areas of the world, and this region is characterized by a complex mixture of ethnic groups sharing Iberian languages. The area is comprised of nations and regions with different levels of social development. This region has experienced historical advances in the last decades to increase the mi

15. A tribute to José María ("Chema") Cantú
José María ("Chema") Cantú (1938-2007), born in Mexico, was a pioneering, loved and respected leader in medical and human genetics and bioethics in Latin America. He graduated as a physician in Mexico and then trained in medical and human genetics in France and the United States. He was instrumental in developing a first-rate research, training and geneti

16. Genetics and human rights: Two histories: restoring genetic identity after forced disappearance and identity suppression in Argentina and after compulsory isolation for leprosy in Brazil
Over the past three decades, there has been an accelerated development of genetic technology, leading to its use in human genetic identification for many purposes. Additionally, it has been made explicit that identity is a fundamental human right. A number of historical circumstances have connected these developments. Personal identity is increasingly associ

17. The challenges of organizing an international course in Latin America
The Latin American School of Human and Medical Genetics (ELAG) is the main course of its kind in the genetics field in Latin America. Here we describe the main challenges regarding the organization of such event, including how we obtain funding and how we proceed with student selection. Thus, we aim to share our experience with other groups that intend to fo

18. Genealogical data in population medical genetics: field guidelines
This is a guide for fieldwork in Population Medical Genetics research projects. Data collection, handling, and analysis from large pedigrees require the use of specific tools and methods not widely familiar to human geneticists, unfortunately leading to ineffective graphic pedigrees. Initially, the objective of the pedigree must be decided, and the available

19. The golden age of Drosophila research at the Universidade de São Paulo (USP): a testimonial on the decades 1940-1950
This article is a testimonial written by the first author regarding the research work performed with Drosophila between 1943 and 1959, at the Departamento de Biologia Geral of the Universidade de São Paulo (USP), which permitted the building of a nucleus of excellence. This research work, focused on the systematics and population genetics of the Neotropical

20. Human molecular cytogenetics: from cells to nucleotides
The field of cytogenetics has focused on studying the number, structure, function and origin of chromosomal abnormalities and the evolution of chromosomes. The development of fluorescent molecules that either directly or via an intermediate molecule bind to DNA has led to the development of fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), a technology linking cytog

21. History of domestication and spread of Aedes aegypti - A Review
The adaptation of insect vectors of human diseases to breed in human habitats (domestication) is one of the most important phenomena in medical entomology. Considerable data are available on the vector mosquito Aedes aegypti in this regard and here we integrate the available information including genetics, behaviour, morphology, ecology and biogeography of t

22. Utilização de sistema multiplex de marcadores do tipo INDELs em identificação humana por DNA / Use of multiplex system with INDELs markers in human identification by DNA
Os INDELs são polimorfismos de comprimento, gerados a partir de inserções e/ou deleções de um ou mais nucleotídeos. Os marcadores INDELs, que estão amplamente distribuídos pelo genoma e se caracterizam pela alta estabilidade devido à baixa taxa mutacional (10-9), podem ser analisados a partir da amplificação por PCR (Reação em Cadeia da Polimera

23. Contribuições do uso do cinema para o ensino de ciências: tendências entre 1997 e 2009 / Contributions of using cinema for science education: trends between 1997 and 2009.
Taking into consideration the influence caused by the media in our society, this dissertation seeks to analyze qualitatively the academic production dealing with the use of Cinema with focus on teaching Science. For this purpose three databases were searched (ENPEC, CEDOC and SIBIUSP) in a specific time frame (1997 to 2009) and were based on a methodology ce

24. Caracterização agronômica e seleção de linhagens de soja destinadas ao consumo humano
Soybean is the most important crop to man, because it contains in the grain, about 20% of oil and 40% of protein of low cost of production. Brazil is the second largest world producer of soybeans; however the most of the production is destined for industries of vegetable oil and the exportation in the form of grain. Even reducing the risk of chronic diseases
