High Probability Diagnostics
A lot of diseases are known to the medical science, each of the diseases having its own symptoms. Nevertheless, all diseases have something in common, regardless of the illness cause and the patients` individual reactions. These generalised regularities inherent in all diseases are called general pathology. Physicians can easily recognise... view more... (2002-06-21)

First calves from gene diagnosed embryos born at MTT Agrifood Research Finland
Results from quantitative trait gene mapping (QTL) have been utilised for the first time in the selection of bovine embryos. The genotypes of two genes affecting milk yield and composition have been analysed from pre-implantation embryo biopsies. The first four female calves with known milk production genotypes were recently born at the... view more... (2003-08-14)
