▪ Abstract Soft lithography, a set of techniques for microfabrication, is based on printing and
molding using elastomeric stamps with the patterns of interest in bas-relief. As a technique …

Genetic map** provides a powerful approach to identify genes and biological processes
underlying any trait influenced by inheritance, including human diseases. We discuss the …

The human genome holds an extraordinary trove of information about human development,
physiology, medicine and evolution. Here we report the results of an international …

As vertebrate genome sequences near completion and research refocuses to their analysis,
the issue of effective genome annotation display becomes critical. A mature web tool for …

The hypothalamus plays a central role in the integrated control of feeding and energy
homeostasis. We have identified two novel neuropeptides, both derived from the same …

The sequence of the human genome encodes the genetic instructions for human

Hereditary haemochromatosis (HH), which affects some 1 in 400 and has an estimated
carrier frequency of 1 in 10 individuals of Northern European descent, results in multi–organ …

Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most frequent type of variation in the
human genome, and they provide powerful tools for a variety of medical genetic studies. In a …

An exceptional muscle development commonly referred to as 'double-muscled'(Fig. 1) has
