West and South Asian populations profoundly influenced Eurasian genetic and cultural diversity. We investigate the genetic history of the Y chromosome haplogroup L1-M22, which, while prevalent in these regions, lacks in-depth study. Robust Bayesian analyses of 165 high-coverage Y chromosomes favor a West Asian origin for L1-M22 ∼20.

Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluated the effectiveness of a targeted Israeli expanded carrier screening panel (IL-ECSP) designed for the diverse Israeli population, beyond standard testing provided by health authorities.* -
  • Over an 18-month period, 10,115 samples were analyzed, revealing that 25% of couples had no concerning findings, while 24.3% had both partners as carriers of different genetic conditions, identifying numerous couples at risk.* -
  • The findings suggest that nearly half of the at-risk couples would not have been detected using standard screenings, highlighting the importance of expanding the targeted screening panel to enhance reproductive decision-making.*

Aims: The objective of this work is to evaluate the epidemiological profile of colorectal cancers, histologically proven over a 5-year period (2012-2016) in the Tlemcen region.

Methods: A retrospective study of 581 cases of colorectal cancer collected at the epidemiology department of the University Hospital Center (UHC) of Tlemcen between January 2012 and December 2016 was performed. Epidemiological data were processed using SPSS version 25 and Microsoft Excel 2010.

Parity non-conservation (PNC) due to the weak interaction is predicted to give rise to enantiomer dependent vibrational constants in chiral molecules, but the phenomenon has so far eluded experimental observation. The enhanced sensitivity of molecules to physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM) has led to substantial advances in molecular precision spectroscopy, and these may be applied to PNC searches as well. Specifically, trapped molecular ion experiments leverage the universality of trapping charged particles to optimize the molecular ion species studied toward BSM searches, but in searches for PNC, only a few chiral molecular ion candidates have been proposed so far.
