Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At age 13, Tina had resigned herself to being an only child. She is thrilled when her parents manage to adopt a Scottish orphan and bring her home to live with their small family in rural Ontario. Catriona is just a few months younger than Tina and seems like a perfect fit. Catriona is eager to assimilate in her new Canadian surroundings and learns to ski and swim, and quickly becomes part of a tight threesome along with Tina’s best friend Sophie. Tina’s universally disliked art teacher, Miss Plunk, and her amateur magician brother Irwin Plunk seem to take an unusually strong aversion to the orphan, and the feeling is reciprocated. Tina begins to sense that all is not completely normal with her adopted sister. She finds herself holding secrets from her parents as she and Sophie are introduced into a world of magic, adventure, and danger.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of a personal genome stems from the fact that every human genome is unique. Measuring the unique features of a personal genome would help uncover the genetic basis of diseases and traits, and would be increasingly important in clinical diagnosis especially with the growing emphasis on personalized medicine. This thesis focuses on exploring the power of molecular counting to develop novel strategies that address the inadequacy of existing technologies in measuring the unique features of a human genome. The first focus of the thesis is aneuploidy detection, which has major application in prenatal diagnosis. While karyotyping of fetal cells is well-established for detecting aneuploidy, invasive sampling of fetal materials impose a small but significant risk to the health of both the mother and the fetus. A major research focus in the field of prenatal diagnosis has been to develop a noninvasive test for detecting fetal aneuploidy. Here, the concept of single molecule counting was applied to the problem of aneuploidy detection. The concept was first tested with digital PCR on invasively collected fetal materials, and subsequently extended to the noninvasive setting by shotgun sequencing maternal plasma DNA, which contains a small amount of fetal DNA. The former work led to the development of a polymorphism-independent method for rapid invasive diagnosis of aneuploidy, while the later work marked the development of the first polymorphism-independent method for the noninvasive diagnosis of fetal aneuploidy documented in the literature. The second focus of the thesis is molecular haplotyping. Present sequencing and other molecular techniques concentrate at identifying variants at isolated locations throughout a genome but largely ignore the haplotypes formed by these variants. Direct experimental determination of the haplotypes of an individual is challenging because of the lack of techniques to separate the two highly similar homologous copies of a chromosome. Here, a whole-genome haplotyping method was devised by analyzing amplified materials from single intact chromosomes within single cells, made possible by microfluidics. Such strategy enabled, for the first time, completely deterministic measurement of personal whole-genome haplotypes. It sets the stage for the direct sequencing of the two unique haploid genomes of any individual human, which has not been achieved by any personal genomes sequenced to date, and can potentially facilitate noninvasive fetal genome sequencing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a field where even experts may find that years have elapsed since they last encountered a child with a given disorder, it is essential for the clinician to have a comprehensive source of practical and highly illustrated information covering the whole spectrum of metabolic disease to refer to. The second edition of this highly regarded book, authored by three of the foremost authorities in pediatric metabolic medicine, fulfils this need by providing an invaluable insight into the problems associated with metabolic diseases. For ease of reference, Atlas of Metabolic Disease is divided into sections of related disorders, such as disorders of amino acid metabolism, lipid storage disorders and mitochondrial diseases, with an introductory outline where appropriate summarizing the biochemical features and general management issues. Within sections each chapter deals with an individual disease, starting with a useful summary of major phenotypic expression and including clear and helpful biochemical pathways, identifying for the reader exactly where the defect is occurring. Throughout the book, plentiful photographs, often showing extremely rare disorders, are an invaluable aid to diagnosis.

Book excerpt: Biochemistry of Insects reviews the state of knowledge in insect biochemistry. The book begins by examining the function of carbohydrates in regulating and maintaining the life processes of insects. This is followed by separate chapters on the functional roles of lipids and proteins in insects; and protein synthesis in insects. Subsequent chapters cover the chemistry of insect cuticle; the structure, distribution, and chemistry of insect biochromes; and chemical control of insect behavior. Also discussed are the biochemical aspects of the natural products used by insects in defensive contexts; the reaction of insecticides and related compounds with their targets; detoxification mechanisms in insects; and genetic variation in natural populations. Designed to serve as a basic textbook in field, this volume should be equally useful as an auxiliary text for most relevant courses in insect biology, particularly insect physiology, insect ecology, insect control, and economic entomology. The book should also serve as an important reference source for the advanced student, the research scientist, and the professional entomologist seeking authoritative details of relevant areas of subject matter.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of cultured cells in the clinical diagnosis of hereditary metabolic dis ease is a rapidly developing subject to which many different disciplines have brought their expertise and knowledge. A number of scientists who have in dividually contributed to the growth of the subject gave invited papers at the Fourteenth Symposium of the Society for the Study of Inborn Errors of Metabolism in the University of Edinburgh on 13-16th July, 1976. These papers form the basis of this monograph which brings together contributions from the basic sciences and from physicians concerned primarily with human disease. The cross-fertilization produced by this interdisciplinary communica tion was invaluable to those trying to understand and overcome diagnostic problems posed by hereditary metabolic disease. Cell culture methods and cell preservation techniques were described by D. G. Harnden and D. E. Pegg; Dr T. Elsdale outlined some of the factors which control in vitro cell growth and division. Cell culture methods and cryopreser vation techniques have allowed the wide distribution of biochemically abnor mal cells and their study over long periods of time. It is also evident that when a defect which produces severe metabolic disorder in man can be studied in the laboratory using isolated cell cultures a wide variety of investigative procedures can be focused on to the cellular defect without distress or discomfort to the patient or relatives.

Book excerpt: The underlying theme of this volume is the understanding of the molecules and processes important in the primary metabolism of insects. The 19 chapters provide both rich historical perspectives and timely reviews of current research, as well as showing the extent of progress to be expected in the near future, including the application of advanced techniques now used for the study of microbial and mammalian processes. The major themes of metabolism, proteins and nucleic acids, and biochemical events in the nervous system each have several chapters devoted to them, but specific topics such as pigments, toxins, and aging are also covered in detail. This extensive volume is therefore an invaluable source of information not only for entomologists but also for all scientists whose work involves insect biochemistry, including zoologists, biochemists, and molecular biologists and geneticists.
