Iron deficiency important to assess in children adopted from institutional settings
2014-03-06
Iron deficiency predicts lower IQ scores and poor higher-order thinking skills in children adopted from institutional settings like orphanages, according to a new longitudinal study.
The study analyzed data on 55 children adopted from international institutions, with a focus on nutritional status. Conducted by researchers at the University of Minnesota, the research appears in the journal Child Development.
Children with more severe iron deficiency when they were adopted and who had spent more time in an institution before they were adopted were more likely to have lower ...
Head Start more beneficial for children whose parents provide less early academic stimulation
2014-03-06
One year of Head Start can make a bigger difference for children from homes where parents provide less early academic stimulation, such as reading to children, helping them recognize and pronounce letters and words, and helping them count. Showing parents how they can help their children with reading and counting may help, too.
Those are the conclusions of a new study by researchers at the University of California, Irvine. The study appears in the journal Child Development.
Head Start is a comprehensive program that provides low-income children with preschool education; ...
Inadequate sleep predicts risk of heart disease, diabetes in obese adolescents
2014-03-06
Cincinnati, Ohio – Obese adolescents not getting enough sleep? A study in today's The Journal of Pediatrics, shows they could be increasing their risk for developing diabetes, heart disease and stroke.
Lack of sleep and obesity have been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases in adults and young children.
However, the association is not as clear in adolescents, an age group known for lack of adequate sleep, and with an obesity and overweight prevalence of 30 percent in the United States.
Researchers at the University of Michigan ...
Testis size matters for genome evolution
2014-03-06
In many primates, females mate with multiple partners, causing an often-intense competition amongst males to pass along their DNA to be king of the genome as well as the jungle.
In the advanced online edition of Molecular Biology and Evolution, author Alex Wong used a published sequence dataset from 55 species of primates to test for a correlation between molecular evolutionary rates across a genome (substitution rates) and testes weights, used in the study as a proxy for increased sperm production and competition. It is widely thought that the production of increased ...
New software automates and improves phylogenomics from next-generation sequencing data
2014-03-06
To reconstruct phylogenetic trees from next-generation sequencing data using traditional methods requires a time-consuming combination of bioinformatic procedures including genome assembly, gene prediction, orthology identification and multiple alignment. As a consequence, more recently, scientists have relied on a simpler method where short sequence reads from each species are aligned directly to the genome sequence of a single reference sequence.
The authors, Bertels, et. al., in the advanced online edition of Molecular Biology and Evolution, not only show that this ...
