Z_2_08 — Prion Genetics and Misfolded Proteins

Prions are infectious agents composed entirely of misfolded protein — the only known pathogen that contains no nucleic acid (no DNA, no RNA). The protein-only hypothesis (Stanley Prusiner, 1982 — Nobel Prize 1997) states

L_5_02 — Genetic Diseases and Founder Effect Populations

When a small group founds a new population and subsequently expands in relative isolation, genetic drift can amplify alleles that were rare in the ancestral population — including deleterious recessive disease alleles. T
