Household characteristics associated with handwashing with soap in rural Bangladesh.

30 Oct 2009 Handwashing with soap prevents diarrhea and respiratory disease, but it is rarely practiced in high-need settings. Among 100 randomly selected villages in rural Bangladesh, field workers enrolled 10 households per village and observed and recorded ... Read more...


Comprehensive mapping of long-range interactions reveals folding principles of the human genome.

7 Oct 2009 We describe Hi-C, a method that probes the three-dimensional architecture of whole genomes by coupling proximity-based ligation with massively parallel sequencing. We constructed spatial proximity maps of the human genome with Hi-C at a resolution ... Read more...


Discrimination of extant Pan species and subspecies using the enamel-dentine junction morphology of lower molars.

29 Sep 2009 Previous research has demonstrated that species and subspecies of extant chimpanzees and bonobos can be distinguished on the basis of the shape of their molar crowns. Thus, there is potential for fossil taxa, particularly fossil hominins, to be ... Read more...
