Determination of Activity Concentration of Natural Radionuclides and Radiation Hazards’ Assessment of Building Materials in High Background Radiation Areas of Homa and Ruri, Kenya... by Willis Otieno Gor Odongo, Margaret Chege, Nadir Hashim, Shinji Tokonami, Kranrod Chutima, Charles Rotich

“…The measured values of radioactivity concentrations are used to estimate the associated radiological risk. The earthen building material samples from Ruri registered relatively high 232Th concentration values averaging 1094 ± 55 Bq/kg, nearly three times those of the samples from Homa. 226Ra level was not significantly different in both regions with Homa reporting 129 ± 10 Bq/kg and Ruri 111 ± 6 Bq/kg. 40K was however higher in the samples from Homa by an approximate factor of 2 relative to those from Ruri where the activity concentration was 489 ± 24 Bq/kg. …”

Liberties of the genome: insertions of mitochondrial DNA fragments into nuclear genome by M. V. Golubenko, V. P. Puzyrev

“…Partial copies of mitochondrial DNA in the human nuclear genome can interfere with mtDNA during experimental studies of the mitochondrial genome, such as genotyping, heteroplasmy assessment, mtDNA methylation analysis, and mtDNA copy number estimation. In some cases, the insertion of multiple copies of the complete mitochondrial genome sequence may mimic paternal inheritance of mtDNA. …”
