1. Análise molecular de amostras fecais de uma população de veado-mateiro (Mazama americana) para a obtenção de informações genéticas e ecológicas / Molecular analysis of faecal samples of a red brocket deer (Mazama americana) population for obtaining genetic and ecological information
Mazama genus is composed by five species in Brazil. All of them are difficult to observe due to their evasive behaviors, what makes the captures and behavioral studies almost impossible. Thus, the use of non invasive methodologies is necessary to study the ecology and genetics of these species. The fecal DNA analysis is one of the most promising techniques f

2. MODELAGEM DO MÓDULO DE YOUNG EM NANOCOMPÓSITOS ATRAVÉS DE INTELIGÊNCIA COMPUTACIONAL / MODELING YOUNGS MODULUS OF NANOCOMPOSITES THROUGH COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE
Composite materials became very popular due to its improvements on certain properties achieved from the mixture of two different components. Recently, the use of nanofillers in the manufacture of composites has been widely studied due to the improvement of properties at low concentrations of nanofillers, enabling the creation of lightweight materials. Some o

3. Componentes da variÃncia fenotÃpica em feijoeiro utilizando o mÃtodo genealÃgico / Phenotypic variance components in beans by the pedigree method.
In the present work the pedigree method was used to estimate the phenotypic variance components for grain yield and plant habit. A segregating population from the cross between BRS TalismÃ, (growing habit III, carioca grain type) and BRS Valente (growing habit II and black grain) was used. Sixty-four plants were randomly sampled from the F2 to generate F2:3

4. Molecular genetics of schizophrenia: a critical review
We present an overview of current progress and future directions in the molecular genetics of schizophrenia. We review linkage studies, involving the genome-wide scan of chromosomes with closely spaced polymorphic markers, and association studies of candidate genes, identified on the basis of receptors, neurotransmitters and response to certain drugs. The li

5. Inducibility of aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase in cultured human lymphocytes: a study of repeatability.
Modifications to the method for estimating aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH) activity in cultured human lymphocytes are described. Despite the improvements to the technique it was not possible to show significant 'repeatability' of values for AHH induction over a period of 2 weeks or more. Significant repeatability could be seen when a blood sample from eac

6. Generation of High-Yielding Influenza A Viruses in African Green Monkey Kidney (Vero) Cells by Reverse Genetics
Influenza A viruses are the cause of annual epidemics of human disease with occasional outbreaks of pandemic proportions. The zoonotic nature of the disease and the vast viral reservoirs in the aquatic birds of the world mean that influenza will not easily be eradicated and that vaccines will continue to be needed. Recent technological advances in reverse ge

7. Use of computers in dysmorphology.
As a consequence of the increasing power and decreasing cost of digital computers, dysmorphologists have begun to explore a wide variety of computerised applications in clinical genetics. Of considerable interest are developments in the areas of syndrome databases, expert systems, literature searches, image processing, and pattern recognition. Each of these

8. The Mouse Genome Database (MGD): from genes to mice—a community resource for mouse biology
The Mouse Genome Database (MGD) forms the core of the Mouse Genome Informatics (MGI) system (http://www.informatics.jax.org), a model organism database resource for the laboratory mouse. MGD provides essential integration of experimental knowledge for the mouse system with information annotated from both literature and online sources. MGD curates and present

9. Genomic Libraries and a Host Strain Designed for Highly Efficient Two-Hybrid Selection in Yeast
The two-hybrid system is a powerful technique for detecting protein-protein interactions that utilizes the well-developed molecular genetics of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. However, the full potential of this technique has not been realized due to limitations imposed by the components available for use in the system. These limitations include unwieldy

10. Toward a successful multinational crop plant genome initiative
Plant genome research is needed as the foundation for an entirely new level of efficiency and success in the application of genetics and breeding to crop plants and products from crop plants. Genetic improvements in crop plants beyond current capabilities are needed to meet the growing world demand not only for more food, but also a greater diversity of

11. Rapid Construction of Adenoviral Vectors by Lambda Phage Genetics
Continued improvements of adenoviral vectors require the investigation of novel genome configurations. Since adenovirus can be generated directly by transfecting packaging cell lines with viral genomes isolated from plasmid DNA, it is possible to separate genome construction from virus production. In this way failure to generate a virus is not associated wit
