Relationship Formation

46.2K
What do you think is the single most influential factor in determining with whom you become friends and whom you form romantic relationships? You might be surprised to learn that the answer is simple: the people with whom you have the most contact. This most important factor is proximity. You are more likely to be friends with people you have regular contact with. For example, there are decades of research that shows that you are more likely to become friends with people who live in your dorm,...

Ending Relationships01:28

Ending Relationships

189
The dissolution of intimate relationships presents complex emotional and psychological challenges, particularly when emotional bonds are strong, the relationship is long-standing, and perceived alternatives are limited. This distress often intensifies in romantic breakups, where the initiator may experience greater turmoil than the rejected partner. Contributing factors include residual attachment, guilt over causing pain, and uncertainty about how to manage the situation. The stress is further...

Relationship Growth

220
Interpersonal relationships progress through stages, beginning with awareness and moving toward mutuality, where emotional connections deepen. While many relationships remain at moderate levels of mutuality, deeper connections form through self-disclosure, trust, and interdependence.Self-DisclosureSelf-disclosure involves revealing personal information, starting with surface-level details and gradually progressing to more intimate content. As trust grows, individuals feel more comfortable...

Social Relationships and Well-Being

311
The significance of social relationships in psychological well-being is a well-established area of inquiry within social psychology. Research consistently demonstrates that the presence of meaningful, supportive relationships enhances emotional health, while the absence or deterioration of such connections can contribute to psychological distress. Relationships serve as a foundation for emotional support, identity, and social belonging, all of which are critical to an individual’s overall...

Close Relationships and Culture

239
Culture shapes how people approach attraction, choose partners, and build long-term relationships. While some preferences in mate selection appear consistent across cultures, such as men valuing physical attractiveness and women emphasizing financial resources, cultural contexts influence how these preferences are expressed and prioritized. Marriage extends beyond romantic ideals in many societies and is deeply embedded in social, economic, and religious frameworks.The Role of Culture in Mate...

Gene Evolution - Fast or Slow?

8.2K
The genomes of eukaryotes are punctuated by long stretches of sequence which do not code for proteins or RNAs. Although some of these regions do contain crucial regulatory sequences, the vast majority of this DNA serves no known function. Typically, these regions of the genome are the ones in which the fastest change, in evolutionary terms, is observed, because there is typically little to no selection pressure acting on these regions to preserve their sequences.
In contrast, regions which code...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Genetics
  • Genomics
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) has been a cornerstone in documenting human genetic disorders for over 50 years.
  • Initially focusing on X-linked, autosomal recessive, and autosomal dominant disorders, OMIM evolved into a primary repository for gene and phenotype information.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the scope and features of the OMIM database and its online platform, OMIM.org.
  • To highlight OMIM's role as a curated knowledge base for the medical genetics community.

Main Methods:

  • Curated expert review of biomedical literature to create structured entries for genes and phenotypes.
  • Development of OMIM.org for interactive access, including genomic searches and phenotype comparisons.
  • Implementation of a robust API for computational queries and integration with other genomic resources.

Main Results:

  • As of September 2018, OMIM contained over 24,600 entries.
  • The OMIM Morbid Map Scorecard linked 6,259 molecularized phenotypes to 3,961 genes.
  • OMIM.org offers extensive cross-linking to external genomic databases and literature.

Conclusions:

  • OMIM serves as an indispensable, continuously updated resource for understanding human genetic variation and disease.
  • The platform facilitates both manual and computational access to complex genetic and phenotypic data.
  • OMIM's comprehensive nature and integration capabilities support advancements in medical genetics research and clinical applications.
