Several studies evaluate high-density single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) arrays for the detection of copy-number variations in human genomes. Many debilitating diseases have complex genetic roots, ...

The grand venture of devolution has descended into a grim national fatalism By Chris Deerin I attended my first Christmas party of the year this week, a noisy mix of hacks, flacks, business folk and ...

Scotland and Norway are alike in so many ways – shaped by the same seas, the same weather, and the same natural energy. Both were given a once-in-a-century opportunity with North Sea oil. But the ...
