Similarly, takes ‘Europeanness’ an empty signifier, without any essential meaning, arguing that these signifiers are key understanding...

Examination of bovine pituitary gland transcriptome by strand-specific RNA-seq allows detection putative single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within potential candidate genes (CGs) or QTLs regions as well to understand the genomics variations that contribute economic trait. Here we report a breed-specific model successfully perform SNPs in young growing bulls representing Polish Holstein-Friesian (HF), Red, and Hereford breeds at three developmental ages viz., six months, nine twelve...

This article examines British societal reactions to Polish migrant workers using a framework that combines recent developments of the moral panic concept informed by sociology regulation and risk governance studies.

In past 5 years, the promise that came with genome sequencing has revolutionized functional genomics research field at unprecedented manner. It would soon know what all known genes do, particularly involved in genetic improvement of animal health and increase food production. With availability full bovine genomic sequence, yet we still have a lot daunting tasks on 'genotype-to-phenotype problem' about phenotypic variations trying to predict are likely be involved, improved integrated...

Antagonism and conflict within newly resident UK Polish migrants has been typically related to labour market competition. Without denying the relevance of this argument, we argue that explanations antagonism community should also take into account role a intelligentsia habitus.
