ACCURATE DIAGNOSIS OF SPINAL MUSCULAR ATROPHY AND 22Q11.2 DELETION SYNDROME USING LIMITED DEOXYNUCLEOTIDE TRIPHOSPHATES AND HIGH-RESOLUTION MELTING

Accurate diagnosis of spinal muscular atrophy and 22q11.2 deletion syndrome using limited deoxynucleotide triphosphates and high-resolution melting

Abstract Background Copy number variation (CNV) has been implicated in the genetics of multiple human diseases.Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) and 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2DS) are two of the most common diseases which are caused by DNA copy number variations.Genetic diagnostics for these conditions would be enhanced by more accurate and effi

Going underground: short- and long-term movements may reveal the fossorial spatial ecology of an amphisbaenian

Abstract Background The movement and spatial ecology of an animal depends on its morphological and functional adaptations to its Soup Tureen Sets environment.In fossorial animals, adaptations to the underground life help to face peculiar ecological challenges, very different from those of epigeal species, but may constrain their movement ability.Me

Identity-Based Linkable Ring Signature Scheme

A ring signature is an anonymous signature that implements both the authentication of the message and the anonymity of the signer.In a “normal” ring signature scheme, the same signer can generate multiple ring signatures, but the verifier cannot find this fact.Linkable ring signature (LRS) solves the problem.In the setting, the identi
