Article Abstract:
The software programmers at the molecular-diagnostics business unit of Bayer Diagnostics responsible for modifying the treatment algorithms for the company's HIV-1-resitance software must update their algorithms regularly. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a nucleic acid-based diagnostic test for legionnaire's disease from San Diego-based Gene Probe.

Females increase offspring heterozygosity and fitness through extra-pair matings
Article Abstract:
Research examines the reproductive behavior of female animals with reference to blue tits, Parus caeruleus. The females aim at heterozygosity of their progeny via extra-pair matings. Results indicate that the offsprings produced are of higher reproductive value, less inbred, possess an elaborate crown color and higher reproductive success and survival rate.
