Sentences with phrase «heritable differences»

Empirical evidence suggests that attachment security in mother — infant bonds builds on heritable differences in sensitivity to isolation [14].

Darwin argued that all individuals struggle to survive on limited resourses, but some have small, heritable differences that give them a greater chance of surviving or reproducing, than individuals lacking these beneficial traits.

Strikingly the pattern of hotspot used varied among individuals, but seemed to be passed on from generation to generation — a heritable difference potentially pointing to differences in the recombination machinery among individuals.

Not exact matches

Temperament describes constitutionally - based and heritable individual differences in reactivity and regulation.9 Although temperament can be modified, it is considerably stable across the life span.10 - 13 And, because high negative reactivity represents an extreme case, it has been found to demonstrate significant continuity.14

The daughter colonies resembled the parents in size meaning that the size difference was heritable, giving her in effect two different morphs of snowflake yeast.

The analysis confirmed earlier findings that several other types of bacteria are also heritable, but specific genes connected to those differences were not found.

An international research consortium led by investigators at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and the University of Chicago has answered several questions about the genetic background of obsessive - compulsive disorder (OCD) and Tourette syndrome (TS), providing the first direct confirmation that both are highly heritable and also revealing major differences between the underlying genetic makeup of the disorders.

Broadly speaking, we are interested in understanding how genes affect behaviour, but despite rapid advances in technology for sequencing and engineering genomes, it is still a challenge to associate particular genes with heritable behavioural differences because behaviour is time consuming to measure and difficult to quantify.

These data suggest either that there are limited differences in methylation between patients with diabetes and nondiabetic subjects or that DNA methylation in human adipose tissue is highly heritable.

October 24, 2013 Genetic analysis reveals novel insights into the genetic architecture of obsessive - compulsive disorder, Tourette syndrome An international research consortium led by investigators at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and the University of Chicago has answered several questions about the genetic background of obsessive - compulsive disorder (OCD) and Tourette syndrome (TS), providing the first direct confirmation that both are highly heritable and also revealing major differences between the underlying genetic makeup of the disorders.

Knudson, who has been affiliated with the Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia since 1976, was studying children with retinoblastoma, a cancer of the eye, noting differences between the 40 percent of cases with heritable tumors and the 60 percent of non-heritable cases.

Altruism and aggression: Individual differences are substantially heritable.

Individual differences in aggressive behavior are at least partly heritable and presumably result from the interaction between genetic and environmental factors [1].

Shared environmental factors were generally not influential, and nonshared environmental effects were stronger for males than for females for inattention / impulsivity These results suggest that impulsivity and inattention during this period of childhood are (1) clearly related to concurrent aggressive / defiant symptoms; (2) multidimensional, with influences of method of assessment on outcome; and (3) highly heritable, with possible gender differences in the strength of genetic effects.

Genetically informative studies indicate that individual differences in CU traits show moderate - to - strong heritability, but that protective environmental factors can counter heritable risk.
