We examined the relationship between continental-level genetic ancestry and racial and ethnic identity in an admixed population in New Mexico with the goal of increasing our understanding of how racial and ethnic identity influence genetic substructure in admixed populations.Our sample consists of 98 New Mexicans who self-identified as Hispanic or
Abstract Background The sedentary polychaete Sabellaria alveolata, the sandcastle or honeycomb worm, possesses four different kinds of appendages besides the parapodia: opercular papillae, tentacular filaments, palps, and branchiae.It exhibits a highly specialized anterior end, the operculum, formed by the prostomium, peristomium, and two anterior
Genetic robustness is the ability of a genome to incorporate mutations with the result of no fitness changes.Thus, more robust viruses have an increased neutral mutation rate.This property is particularly important in RNA viruses due to their high mutation rates.The most direct way of measuring robustness in vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) is to c
Recent neuropsychological and neuroscientific research suggests that people who experience more déjà vu display characteristic patterns in normal recognition memory.We conducted a large individual differences study (n = 206) to test these predictions using recollection and familiarity parameters recovered from a standard memory task.Parti
We describe a patient who underwent open surgical conversion 2-years after Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR) due to aneurysm expansion in the absence of an endoleak on conventional CT imaging.Surgical repair revealed an intermittent type III endoleak which was not apparent in the neutral position but became evident during manipulation of the ilia
