This study examines the issue of false positives in genomic scans for detecting complex trait loci using sibpair linkage methods and investigates the trade-off between the rate of false positives and the rate of false negatives. It highlights the tremendous cost in terms of power brought about by an

BCR-ABL fluorescence in situ hybridization has a useful role to play in experimental and clinical investigations of chronic myeloid leukaemia. However, the interpretation of results is complicated by variability in the false positive rate (FPR) and false negative rate (FNR). We therefore examined th
The chromosome numbers and types of parthenogenesis have been assessed for 19 species of 6 different genera of the Tenuipalpidae. The modal number of n = 2 is found to occur in species of the genera Aegyptobia, Cenopalpus, Brevipalpus, Dolichotetranychus and Raoiella. The bisexual species examined e
The t(9;22) translocation resulting in the fusion of BCR and ABL genes is pathognomonic in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and may be investigated at the molecular level using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Two-color BCR-ABL probes visualizing one fusion signal (1F FISH) have high false p
