Book Synopsis Scottish National Party (SNP) Leaders by : James Mitchell
Download or read book Scottish National Party (SNP) Leaders written by James Mitchell and published by Biteback Publishing. This book was released on 2016-09-15 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By any measure, the story of the Scottish National Party is an extraordinary one. Forced to endure decades of electoral irrelevance since its creation in the 1930s, during which it often found itself grappling with internal debate on strategy, and rebellion from within its own ranks, the SNP virtually swept the board in the 2015 general election, winning all but three of Scotland's fifty-nine seats in Westminster. What's more, under the current leadership of Nicola Sturgeon, the SNP has never been a more important force in the landscape of British politics. The leaders who have stood at its helm during this tumultuous eighty-year history - from Sir Alexander MacEwen to Nicola Sturgeon and Alex Salmond - have steered the SNP vessel with varying degrees of success, but there is no doubt that all have contributed to the shape, purpose and ultimate goal of the party of government we see today. The latest addition to the acclaimed British Political Leaders series, Scottish National Party Leaders examines each of these senior figures for the first time, and is essential reading for anyone curious about how this former fringe party evolved into a political phenomenon, changing not only the face of Scottish politics, but British politics as well.

Book Synopsis On the Algorithmic Tractability of Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) Analysis and Related Problems by : Sebastian Wernicke
Download or read book On the Algorithmic Tractability of Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) Analysis and Related Problems written by Sebastian Wernicke and published by diplom.de. This book was released on 2014-04-02 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: This work brings together two areas of science biology and informatics that have only recently been connected in the emerging (and vastly growing) research field of Bioinformatics. In order to achieve a common basis for Parts 2 and 3 of this work, Part 1 intends to introduce the computer scientist to the relevant biological background and terminology (Chapter 2), and to familiarize the biologist with the relevant topics from theoretical computer science (Chapter 3). Chapter 2 first introduces some terminology from the field of genetics, thereby defining SNPs. We then motivate the analysis of SNPs by two applications, i.e. the analysis of evolutionary development and the field of pharmacogenetics. Especially the field of pharmacogenetics is capable of having an enormous impact on medicine and the pharmaceutical industry in the near future by using SNP data to predict the efficacy of medication. Chapter 3 gives a brief introduction to the field of computational complexity. We will see and motivate how algorithms are analyzed in theoretical computer science. This will lead to the definition of complexity classes , introducing the class NP which includes computationally hard problems. Some of the hard problems in the class NP can be solved efficiently using the tool of fixed-parameter tractability, introduced at the end of this chapter. An important application of SNP data is in the analysis of the evolutionary history of species development (phylogenetic analysis part two chapters 4 and 5). As will be made plausible in Chapter 5 using SNP data is in many ways superior to previous approaches of phylogenetic analysis. In order to analyze the development of species using SNP data, an underlying model of evolution must be specified. A popular model is the so-called perfect phylogeny, but the construction of this phylogeny is a computationally hard problem when there are inconsistencies (such as read-errors or an imperfect .t to the model of perfect phylogeny) in the underlying data. Chapter 4 analyzes the problem of forbidden submatrix removal which is closely connected to constructing perfect phylogenies we will see in Chapter 5 that its computational complexity is directly related to that of constructing a perfect phylogeny from data which is partially erroneous. In this chapter, we analyze the algorithmic tractability of forbidden submatrix removal , characterizing cases where this problem is NP-complete (being [...]

Download or read book Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms written by Anton A. Komar and published by Humana Press. This book was released on 2012-02-25 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, single nucleotide polymorphisms have received increased and special attention in a rapidly developing field of personalized medicine and drug treatment. Comprising more than eighty percent of all known polymorphisms, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are primarily responsible for phenotypic differences between individuals, and have been suggested to affect the development of diseases in humans and the response to drug treatment and environmental stress. In Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms: Methods and Protocols, Second Edition, expert researchers explore the latest advances in this area, highlighting the substantial progress that has been made in SNP genotyping, examining recent developments in high-throughput genotyping approaches, and exploring our new understanding of the impact of SNPs on gene function. Chapters address the impact of SNPs on phenotype, examine SNP databases, look at methods that have been applied for SNP bioinformatics discovery and analysis, and discuss advanced experimental approaches used for SNP detection. Composed in the highly successful Methods in Molecular BiologyTM series format, each chapter contains a brief introduction, step-by-step methods, a list of necessary materials, and a Notes section which shares tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Current and innovative, Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms: Methods and Protocols, Second Edition is an essential guidebook for individual researchers as well as institutions and companies working in the field.
Book Synopsis Direct-to-Consumer Genetic Testing by : National Research Council
Download or read book Direct-to-Consumer Genetic Testing written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-01-16 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, scores of companies, primarily in the United States and Europe, are offering whole genome scanning services directly to the public. The proliferation of these companies and the services they offer demonstrate a public appetite for this information and where the future of genetics may be headed; they also demonstrate the need for serious discussion about the regulatory environment, patient privacy, and other policy implications of direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic testing. Rapid advances in genetic research already have begun to transform clinical practice and our understanding of disease progression. Existing research has revealed a genetic basis or component for numerous diseases, including Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, heart disease, and several forms of cancer. The availability of the human genome sequence and the HapMap, plummeting costs of high-throughput screening, and increasingly sophisticated computational analyses have led to an explosion of discoveries of linkages between patterns of genetic variation and disease susceptibility. While this research is by no means a straight path toward better public health, improved knowledge of the genetic linkages has the potential to change fundamentally the way health professionals and public health practitioners approach the prevention and treatment of disease. Realizing this potential will require greater sophistication in the interpretation of genetic tests, new training for physicians and other diagnosticians, and new approaches to communicating findings to the public. As this rapidly growing field matures, all of these questions require attention from a variety of perspectives. To discuss some of the foregoing issues, several units of the National Academies held a workshop on August 31 and September 1, 2009, to bring together a still-developing community of professionals from a variety of relevant disciplines, to educate the public and policy-makers about this emerging field, and to identify issues for future study. The meeting featured several invited presentations and discussions on the many technical, legal, policy, and ethical questions that such DTC testing raises, including: (1) overview of the current state of knowledge and the future research trajectory; (2) shared genes and emerging issues in privacy; (3) the regulatory framework; and (4) education of the public and the medical community.

Download or read book Nicola Sturgeon written by David Torrance and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2015-03-23 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A biography of the Scottish leader by an author with “an excellent eye for political detail” (Scotland on Sunday). Nicola Sturgeon became involved in politics as a teenager, and then began a law career in Glasgow. She would go on to become Scotland’s youngest parliamentary candidate in 1992, in her early twenties. Considered a rising star, she eventually reached the pinnacle of Scottish government as First Minister and leader of the Scottish National Party—the party she’d joined at the age of sixteen. This book explores her reputation for efficiency and shrewd political judgment, her family life, and her role in the country’s turbulent recent years with the campaign for Scottish independence from the United Kingdom and the Brexit vote. It is a portrait of a fascinating woman as well as an “illuminating appraisal” of her impressive career (Spectator).
