Importance of appropriate genome information for the design of mating type primers in black and yellow morel populations by Melissa Cravero, Aaron J. Robinson, Patrick Hilpisch, Patrick S. Chain, Saskia Bindschedler, Pilar Junier

“…The lack of the reference genome used in primer design and descriptive methodology made it challenging to fully assess the apparent issues with the primers for this clade. In conclusion, additional work is still required for the generation of reliable primers to investigate mating types in morels and to assess their performance on different clades and across multiple geographical regions.…”

Compilation and functional classification of telomere length-associated genes in humans and other animal species by E. V. Ignatieva, N. S. Yudin, D. M. Larkin

“…The human genes identified by several research groups in populations of different ethnic origins are the genes encoding telomerase components such as TERC and TERT as well as STN1 encoding the CST complex component. Apparently, the polymorphic loci affecting the functions of these genes may be the most reliable susceptibility markers for telomere-related diseases. …”

« Une femme en Côte d’Ivoire, une femme au Burkina Faso » by François Ruf

“…But what could be the importance and role of the farmers’ wives who remain behind in – or later return to – the ‘home country’ and the ‘home village’? This question, apparently little studied, is addressed through surveys in the cocoa migration villages in Côte d’Ivoire, i.e., of growers and husbands who speak about their wives back in the home villages, supplemented with information gathered from co-wives who stay with their husbands. …”

Modelling the health, financial protection and equity impacts of upscaling the ACT NOW early intervention breast cancer pilot program in the Philippines: an extended cost-effective... by Blake Angell, Stephen Jan, Mark Woodward, Sanne Peters, Merel Kimman, Alexander Chye, Nirmala Bhoo Pathy, Herdee Gloriane C Luna, Soledad B Lim, Helen Monaghan, Corazon A Ngelangel

“…Results were sensitive to proportion of late-stage breast cancers post intervention, treatment adherence, intervention costs and downstaging effectiveness. Trade-offs are apparent between government contributions to financial protection and rates of financial catastrophe.Conclusions Early detection interventions (annual CBE, biannual breast ultrasound if at high risk of breast cancer) are likely to be cost-effective, reduce breast cancer-related mortality through detection at earlier stages and modestly effective in reducing the incidence of financial catastrophe. …”
