Physical performance and darwinian fitness in lizards

Article Abstract:

An analysis of locomotor performance in the common lizard demonstrates that initial endurance is indeed highly heritable. It is emphasized that locomotor traits are embedded in a more complex, dynamic phenotype, and provides evidence for the role of ontogeny to loosen the link between in initial value of the trait and darwinian fitness.

To characterize or not to characterize is not the question

Article Abstract:

Stem cell characterization is the process that identifies a cell or cell populations by differences in antigenicity, gene expression, and protein abundance. The different methods used to effectively characterize stem cells like fluorescent dyes, flow cytometry analysis and RT-PCR for gene expression analysis are discussed.

Genome-wide phenotype analysis in ES cells by regulated disruption of Bloom's syndrome gene

Article Abstract:

The main limitation of phenotype-based genetic screening in mammalian systems is the diploid nature of the genome. The study indicates that the screening with Blm is very efficient and raises possibilities for identifying gene functions in ES cells.
