Cultural evolutionary models in the manner of Boyd and Henrich are driven instead by a desire to find ways of understanding how cultural inheritance affects evolutionary processes.
Now, new evidence suggests this inheritance affects a broad range of health disorders including skin disease, your ability to fight infection and even your risk of addiction and depression.
Pharmacogenomics, the study of how an individual's genetic inheritance affects the body's response to medications, has an important role and can explain some of this interindividual variability.
In order to understand how non-genetic inheritance affects the patterns of antagonistic coevolution, we consider a simple, discrete-generation, coevolutionary model of two species X and Y which interact antagonistically, e.g., hosts and parasites or predators and their preys.
While many interesting cases involve identifying new inheritance channels which are based on new inheritance systems, and discussions are often ambiguous as to which of the two notions they refer to, the study of inheritance systems is a separate endeavor from the analysis of the inheritance channels affecting individual organisms or traits.
WASHINGTON — Struggling to find ways to pay for the president's signature health care overhaul, the administration on Monday proposed to raise nearly $60 billion more over 10 years mostly from tightening rules for inheritance taxes affecting the wealthiest estates.
The genetic architecture of transcripts differentially expressed in specific stages of autoimmune diabetes offers novel venues towards our understanding of patterns of inheritance potentially affecting the pathological disease mechanisms.
Each has characteristics of a tumor suppressor gene: inheritance within affected families follows an autosomal-dominant pattern of inheritance; and loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at the relevant gene locus is seen in familial tumors, with retention of the disease-predisposing allele [ 5, 6, 7, 8].
So Now What?" (Midstream, Feb. 24), in which James Schembari wondered how an inheritance would affect his family's financial decisions: The column brought back memories of my only inheritance, in 1964.
