      Giannoulis, T.; Dutrillaux, A. M.; Lemonnier-Darcemont, M.; Darcemont, C.; Myrthianou, E.; Stamatis, C.; Dutrillaux, B.; Mamuris, Z. (2011)
      The six European Saga species (Orthoptera Tettigoniidae) were mitochondrially analyzed for the COI gene. Results were compared with available karyological data, the two analyses producing complementary and congruent ...
    • Osteoarthritis Year in Review 2014: genetics and genomics 

      Tsezou, A. (2014)
      Recent developments in genetics/genomics of osteoarthritis (OA) are discussed to improve our understanding of OA pathophysiology. The discovery of a novel variant near the NCOA3 (nuclear receptor coactivator 3) gene ...
