Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

17.2K
Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.
GWAS does not require the identification of the target gene involved in...

Hybridoma Technology01:31

Hybridoma Technology

18.8K
Hybridoma technology is used for the large-scale production of monoclonal antibodies. Monoclonal antibodies bind to only a single antigenic determinant or epitope. Such antibodies are used in research, diagnostics, and disease therapy. The hybridoma technology established in 1975 by Georges Köhler and Cesar Milstein was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1984 for revolutionizing research and therapy.

Protein Families02:47

Protein Families

17.7K
Protein families are groups of homologous proteins; that is, they have similarities in amino acid sequences and three-dimensional structures. Protein families usually occur because of gene duplication, where an additional copy of a gene is inserted into the genome of an organism.   Mutations that change the amino acids but still allow the protein to be properly synthesized, will lead to new protein family members.   If these new proteins contain similar amino acids in key...

Genomics

42.0K
Genomics is the science of genomes: it is the study of all the genetic material of an organism. In humans, the genome consists of information carried in 23 pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus, as well as mitochondrial DNA. In genomics, both coding and non-coding DNA is sequenced and analyzed. Genomics allows a better understanding of all living things, their evolution, and their diversity. It has a myriad of uses: for example, to build phylogenetic trees, to improve productivity and...

GIS Software, Hardware, and Sources of GIS Data

1.0K
A Geographic Information System (GIS) combines specialized software and hardware to effectively manage, analyze, and present spatial and related data. GIS software includes critical functionalities such as a user interface for easy navigation, database management tools for handling spatial and attribute data, and data retrieval features for efficient access. Analytical tools transform raw data into insights, while display functions produce maps and reports in various formats for effective...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Social Neuroscience
  • Human Perception

Background:

  • Existing facial and vocal databases lack controlled attractiveness ranges.
  • Standardized stimuli are crucial for reliable research in social cognition.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To create the GEneva Faces and Voices (GEFAV) database with controlled attractiveness.
  • To provide standardized facial and vocal stimuli for young European adults.
  • To validate the database for research on human attractiveness and social cognition.

Main Methods:

  • Collected static and dynamic facial images (neutral, smiling) and vocal recordings (sentences, vowels) from 111 young European adults.
  • Conducted two rating studies with 285 participants to evaluate facial and vocal attractiveness.
  • Ensured a wide and symmetrical attractiveness distribution and high interrater reliability.

Main Results:

  • The GEFAV database offers a satisfactory range of attractiveness with high reliability.
  • Facial and vocal attractiveness were validated against established findings.
  • Confirmed predictors of attractiveness: femininity and health in women; masculinity, dominance, and trustworthiness in men.

Conclusions:

  • The GEFAV database is a valuable, validated resource for social cognition research.
  • Stimuli can be used intact or transformed for multimodal investigations.
  • Facilitates research into behavioral, neuropsychological, and neurophysiological mechanisms of social cognition.
