TL;DR: Large variability among Alzheimer's disease (AD) cases might impact genetic discoveries and complicate dissection of underlying biological pathways.

TL;DR: Six autosomal polymorphic Alu loci from four different sites within the Spanish Basque region are analyzed to ascertain any genetic heterogeneity among the Basques, and results are consistent with a lack of homogeneity among these four autochthonous Basque groups.

TL;DR: A refined dissection of haplogroup J might provide more solid evidence about the process of postglacial recolonization of Europe, and thus about the shaping of the European gene pool, as well as a shift in the focus of attention of mtDNA analysts.

TL;DR: This GHEP–EMPOP collaboration has significantly improved the quality of the individual mtDNA datasets and adds mtDNA population data as valuable resource to the EMPOP database (www.empop.org).

TL;DR: Melting profiles from each species, as well as from several DNA mixtures of these species and blind samples, allowed a successful species differentiation and demonstrated that the HRM method here proposed is a fast, reliable, and low-cost screening technique.
