HCM patients bearing similar sarcomeric mutations display variable clinical outcomes, implying the involvement of gene modifiers that regulate disease progression. As individuals exhibiting mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) present cardiac phenotypes, the mitochondrial genome is a promising candidate to harbor gene modifiers of HCM. Herein, we sequenced the mtDNA of isogenic pluripotent stem cell-cardiomyocyte models of HCM focusing on two sarcomeric mutations.

BINDENAGEL Interviewed by: Charles Stuart Kennedy Initial interview date: February 3, 1998 Copyright 2002 ADST Q: Today is February 3, 1998. The interview is with J.D. Bindenagel. This is being done on behalf of The Association for Diplomatic Studies. I am Charles Stuart Kennedy. J.D. and I are old friends. We are going to include your biographic sketch that you included at the beginning, which is really quite full and it will be very useful. I have a couple of questions to begin. While you were in high school, what was your interest in foreign affairs per se? I know you were talking politics with Mr. Frank Humphrey, Senator Hubert Humphrey's brother, at the Humphrey Drugstore in Huron, South Dakota, and all that, but how about foreign affairs? BINDENAGEL: I grew up in Huron, South Dakota and foreign affairs in South Dakota really focused on our home town politician Senator and Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey. Frank, Hubert Humphrey's brother, was our connection to Washington, DC, and the center of American politics. We followed Hubert's every move as Senator and Vice President; he of course was very active in foreign policy, and the issues that concerned South Dakota's farmers were important to us. Most of farmers' interests were in their wheat sales, and when we discussed what was happening with wheat you always had to talk about the Russians, who were buying South Dakota wheat.

  • Pedigree Charts
    3.4 Inheritance Essential idea: The inheritance of genes follows patterns. The patterns that genes and the phenotypes they generate can be mapped using pedigree charts. The image show a small section of a pedigree chart that maps the inheritance of hair colour in an extended family over several generations. Analysis of pedigree charts enables us to the nature of the inheritance; controlled by dominant or recessive alleles? linked to the sex chromosomes? controlled by multiple genes or a single gene? By Chris Paine http://www.bioknowledgy.info/ http://www.indiana.edu/~oso/lessons/Genetics/RealColors.html Understandings Statement Guidance 3.4.U1 Mendel discovered the principles of inheritance with experiments in which large numbers of pea plants were crossed. 3.4.U2 Gametes are haploid so contain only one allele of each gene. 3.4.U3 The two alleles of each gene separate into different haploid daughter nuclei during meiosis. 3.4.U4 Fusion of gametes results in diploid zygotes with two alleles of each gene that may be the same allele or different alleles. 3.4.U5 Dominant alleles mask the effects of recessive alleles but co-dominant alleles have joint effects. 3.4.U6 Many genetic diseases in humans are due to recessive alleles of autosomal genes, although some genetic diseases are due to dominant or co-dominant alleles. 3.4.U7 Some genetic diseases are sex-linked. The pattern of Alleles carried on X chromosomes should be inheritance is different with sex-linked genes due to shown as superscript letters on an upper case X, their location on sex chromosomes.

  • Comments to Genealogical Charts and Records
    Comments to genealogical charts and records. There are many things that could be included in charts and records like these. I have chosen to limit the information as most of us will use these carts for note-taking only, while the storing and organizing of the data are done by some sort of digital solution. Four generation pedigree chart If you use this chart for your first steps into genealogy, I recommend that you get familiarized with genealogical numbering systems. Sufficient for these charts is the “Ahnentafel system” which is a genealogical numbering system for listing a person's direct ancestors in a fixed sequence of ascent. The subject (proband or progenitor) of the ahnentafel (pedigree chart) is listed as No. 1, the subject's father as No. 2 and the mother as No. 3, the paternal grandparents as No. 4 and No. 5 and the maternal grandparents as No. 6 and No. 7, and so on, back through the generations. This means the father always has the number twice the number of the child. The mother’s number is twice the number + 1 of the child. Family group record In the “Family group record” I have added a section for additional information. If the number of children or sources exceed what is made room for in the form, I suggest you use this section. If your source is a document you possess, the space for “Archive” in the “Family group sheet” can be used to record where you keep this document (binder no./drawer no./etc). Saving the records When you fill inn and save these records on your computer, you should give each record a unique name relevant to the content of that particular chart.

  • Animality, Subjectivity, and Society in Anglo-Saxon England
    IDENTIFYING WITH THE BEAST: ANIMALITY, SUBJECTIVITY, AND SOCIETY IN ANGLO-SAXON ENGLAND A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of English Language and Literature by Matthew E. Spears January 2017 © 2017 Matthew E. Spears IDENTIFYING WITH THE BEAST: ANIMALITY, SUBJECTIVITY, AND SOCIETY IN ANGLO-SAXON ENGLAND Matthew E. Spears, Ph.D. Cornell University, 2017 My dissertation reconsiders the formation of subjectivity in Anglo-Saxon England. It argues that the Anglo-Saxons used crossings of the human-animal divide to construct the subject and the performance of a social role. While the Anglo-Saxons defined the “human” as a form of life distinct from and superior to all other earthly creatures, they also considered most humans to be subjects-in-process, flawed, sinful beings in constant need of attention. The most exceptional humans had to be taught to interact with animals in ways that guarded the self and the community against sin, but the most loathsome acted like beasts in ways that endangered society. This blurring of the human-animal divide was therefore taxonomic, a move to naturalize human difference, elevate some members of society while excluding others from the community, and police the unruly and transgressive body. The discourse of species allowed Anglo-Saxon thinkers to depict these moves as inscribed into the workings of the natural world, ordained by the perfect design of God rather than a product of human artifice and thus fallible. “Identifying with the Beast” is informed by posthumanist theories of identity, which reject traditional notions of a unified, autonomous self and instead view subjectivity as fluid and creative, produced in the interaction of humans, animals, objects, and the environment.

    . ( - / } N... ,; V THE RAMAYANA IN CONTEMPORARY THAILAND MYA L. GOSLING 12/19/2005 INTRODUCTION The Ramayana is arguably one of the most important and influential cultural icons of Thailand. An epic that dwarfs the Iliad and the Odyssey in both length and depth, it has effectively permeated Thai traditions of art, literature and performing arts. Today the main representations of classical Thai culture can be readily identified by their association with the Ramayana: the literary masterpiece Ramakien, the refined dance form khon, and the intricate murals at Wat Phra Kaew, the Temple of the Emerald Buddha in Bangkok. Each of these are treasured by the Thai public in general, and the Thai Tourism Authority in particular, as shining examples of the best that classical Thai culture has to offer. The Ramayana has become, in effect, a national emblem. Why then does interest in it and its associated art forms appear to be perpetually on the decline? Despite its close association with so many elements of classical Thai traditions, the Ramayana is by no means an indigenous phenomenon, but rather an ancient Hindu epic that was imported from the Indian subcontinent into Southeast Asian during what French historian George Coedes terms the period of Indianization.' At first glance it seems rather incongruous that such an unequivocally Indian and Hindu religious tradition would eventually develop into one of the central pillars of classical Thai culture. Once introduced to Thailand, however, the Ramayana was adopted fairly quickly by the local aristocracy and eventually benefited from the patronage of local rulers. Viewed as a conduit through which aspiring monarchs could establish political legitimacy, the Ramayana became an integral part of court-related ritual and performing arts.
