Archaeology, archaeogenetics, and identity genetic research within the Maltese context
… – and amongst the most consequential – archaeogenetics can also contribute to politics. Indeed, archaeogenetic discoveries are adding a new dimension to questions of identity. The close relationship between archaeogenetics and identity is attested by the vast amounts of studies that are being …

Forensic genetic research on sudden unexpected death in an infant (SUDI) at Salt River Mortuary: experiences an perceptions of parents
… autopsy is used to determine the potential genetic contribution to SUDI and may lead to screening and interventions of at-risk family members. However, the potential of this may only be realised if the family members are willing to engage in the follow-up process. Next-of-kin experiences of …

Laying the Foundation in Genetic Medicine: Understanding Why African Americans and Hispanic/Latinos are Underrepresented in Genetic Testing and in Genetic Research
Genetic medicine is a field progressing at a rapid rate. Even with all the new advancements, there are still minority groups who are less visible when it comes to the uptake of some forms of genetic medicine. African Americans and Hispanic/Latinos have been shown to experience certain conditions …

A Seed Industry Analysis of the Southern Africa Region
… way of making available the benefits of genetic research to increase food production. The importance of genetic based advances will become more pronounced as the amount of arable land declines and non-renewable energy sources become scarce.

"In What Particular Thought to Work": Hamlet and Manic-Depression
… a Bi-Polar I Manic Depressive. Because current genetic research suggests that this disease is inherited, it is logical to ask if Claudius also suffers from this disorder. It can be demonstrated that he does. We may conclude that Claudius murdered the late King of Denmark during a manic episode …

ATTITUDES OF GHANAIAN PEOPLE TOWARDS GENOMICS AND SHARING GENOMIC DATA
… treatment and personalised care. There is more genetic diversity among people across the continent of Africa than across the combined population of the rest of the world. Yet the representation of this diversity is missing in many relevant contexts, including within the data that underpins gene …

Precise and expansive genomic positioning for CRISPR edits
… to recognize and defend against infectious genetic threats. This straight-forward RNA-programmed sequence recognition by CRISPR has facilitated its rapid global impact on genetic research, diagnostics, therapeutics, and bioproduction. An ideal DNA-editing platform would achieve perfect …

Blood groups and the rise of human genetics in mid-twentieth century Britain
… were made into pre-eminent objects of human genetic research and powerful markers for producing human biological difference. By tracing the ways in which three British laboratories became international centres for blood-group genetic research, it also offers an expanded history of postwar …

Proactive Personality: Genetic Influences in its Relationships with Career Success and Environmental Impacts on Its Change
… study, I draw upon evolutionary psychology and genetic research to investigate the genetic foundation of proactive personality and to probe the relative merits of genetic and environmental influences in the relationships between proactive personality and career success. In the second study, I …

Oxytocin and Genetic Links with Eating Behaviours and Relevant Endophenotypes
… circuitry. To date, there has been little OXT-genetic research in the field of eating behaviors. However, a recent study by Davis et al. (2017) identified several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on the OXT receptor gene (OXTR), associated with overeating and relevant behaviours. The …

Searching Biological Sequence Databases Using Distributed Adaptive Computing
Genetic research projects currently can require enormous computing power to processes the vast quantities of data available. Further, DNA sequencing projects are generating data at an exponential rate greater than that of the development microprocessor technology; thus, new, faster methods and …

EQUITABLE ACCESS TO HUMAN BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES: Benefit Sharing Without Undue Inducement.
The main research question of this thesis is: How can cross-border access to human genetic resources, such as blood or DNA samples, be governed to achieve equity for developing countries? Access to and benefit sharing for human biological resources is not regulated through an international legal …

Focused Ultrasound Extraction (FUSE) for Formalin-Fixed, Paraffin Embedded (FFPE) DNA Extraction
… and versatile tissue sample type available for genetic research and clinical applications. However, FFPE DNA extraction presents unique challenges and requires lengthy incubation periods, which can be impractical for certain applications. Here, we propose the use of focused ultrasound extraction …
