PSA Dynamics traditionally evaluated with an inadequate formula
The PSA doubling time is usually calculated from measured PSA values with an inadequate formula that tacitly assumes the absence of that process, which it is supposed to reveal. We present a modifi…

No evidence for a recent genetic bottleneck in the endangered Sheko cattle breed (African Bos taurus) revealed by microsatellite analysis
Sheko is African taurine cattle, valued for its milk yield, adaptation to humid tsetse infested environment and trypanotolerance. We used 30 microsatellite markers in analyzing 30 DNA samples. We f…
