Evaluating genotype imputation pipeline for ultra-low coverage ancient genomes.
Although ancient DNA data have become increasingly more important in studies about past populations, it is often not feasible or practical to obtain high coverage genomes from poorly preserved samples. While methods of accurate...
Dystopian Eugenics and Mestizo Futurisms in Eduardo Urzaiz's Eugenia
R Sanchez-Rivera
Aug 25, 2022
Set in 2218, the novel Eugenia envisions a contradictory utopian and dystopian future premised upon eugenical engineering. Here, I analyse Urzaiz's vision of the beginnings of eugenics in Mexico. Ultimately, I argue that...
Performing Qualitative Mask Fit Testing Without a Commercial Kit
OBJECTIVE: Qualitative fit testing is a popular method of ensuring the fit of sealing face masks such as N95 and FFP3 masks. Increased demand due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has led to shortages in...
Chronic Illnesses, Vulnerability, and Uncertainty
The goal of this chapter is to describe some of the recent challenges that modern medicine is facing using patient-centered medicine as a theoretical frame of reference. First, the work will describe the origin, the development...

Identification of GOLPH3 Partners in Drosophila Unveils Potential Novel Roles in Tumorigenesis and Neural Disorders
Golgi phosphoprotein 3 (GOLPH3) is a highly conserved peripheral membrane protein localized to the Golgi apparatus and the cytosol. GOLPH3 binding to Golgi membranes depends on phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate [PI(4)P] and...
Ability of fabric face mask materials to filter ultrafine particles at coughing velocity
Objective: We examined the ability of fabrics which might be used to create home-made face masks to filter out ultrafine (0.02–0.1 µm) particles at the velocity of adult human coughing. Methods: Twenty commonly available fabrics...
