Gene search using Ensembl (http://ensembl.org) and NCBI map viewer (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mapview/) on the UMD 3.1 genome build was then completed by focusing on linkage-disequilibrium (LD) blocks that contained the SNPs of interest.
The first was focusing on linkages (within policy initiatives, mandates, research or programme objectives, and community priorities) at the conceptualization and design phase of research.
In the present study, we examine three cases of cholera outbreaks that occurred in Africa and on the Indian subcontinent within the last 35 years, focusing on linkages between dominant wind direction and the disease dissemination.
Coarse-grained network models were generated from GIS data wherein nodes represent the 3105 contiguous US counties and weighted edges represent the number of highway or railroad links between counties; thus, we focus on linkage topologies and not geodesic distances.
Genetic mapping efforts in the turkey have focused on linkage mapping [ 9- 13] and the physical information available is very limited.
In farm animals, for many years, such studies were focused on linkage mapping in experimental crosses with the highly variable microsatellites as the markers of choice.
The availability of the complete sequence of the chicken genome has initiated the development of detailed genomic information in other birds including turkey, an agriculturally important species where mapping has hitherto focused on linkage with limited physical information.
Three literature reviews have been conducted on HIV care prior to ART initiation in recent years, 2 4 but they mostly focused on linkage to care and provided very little information on retention in HIV care prior to ART eligibility as well as on risk factors for retention.
The survey was based on several sources and previous surveys and focused on linkage and exchange activities between researchers and decision makers/policy makers and activities undertaken by researchers to transfer their research to decision makers and policy makers [ 19, 33, 38].
It focuses on linkages – between individuals, communities and nations, and among health topics.
