Prediction of consanguinity using human DNA fingerprints.
DNA fingerprinting was performed to verify the pedigree structure of a family under investigation for an unusual case of beta thalassaemia. A higher than expected proportion of hypervariable bands was shared by the proband and his mother, leading to suspicion that the child had been the product of a consanguineous mating. Further analysis of the mother's brother showed that he was almost certai...
متن کاملIndividual and gender fingerprints in human body odour.
Individuals are thought to have their own distinctive scent, analogous to a signature or fingerprint. To test this idea, we collected axillary sweat, urine and saliva from 197 adults from a village in the Austrian Alps, taking five sweat samples per subject over 10 weeks using a novel skin sampling device. We analysed samples using stir bar sorptive extraction in connection with thermal desorpt...
متن کاملDna "fingerprints" and Their Statistical Analysis in Human Populations
In 1985 the concept of a "DNA fingerprint" was introduced as a means of evaluating human identity and relatednes. (Jeffreys, Wilson, & Thein, 1985). The possible forensic and legal applications of DNA evidence were quickly appreciated and such data are now frequently presented in court cases involving serious crimes such as murder and rape. DNA evidence is also used in establishing paternity, i...
متن کاملOrigins and Evaluation of DNA Damage in Infertile Individual
Assisted reproductive techniques (ART) are considered as the first line of treatment in overcoming infertility. The scope of success of these methods depends on several factors including integrity of sperm and oocyte. Obviously, paternal genomic content has an important effect on fertilization potential in infertile couples. Thus, sperm DNA damage is a genomic disorder that exists in different ...
متن کاملAnalysis of Diatom Blooms Using DNA Fingerprints
The premise that guides my research is that phytoplankton community dynamics reflect a complicated interaction between environmental variability and the inherent genetic and physiological variation present within individual species of phytoplankton. My goal is to determine how genetic and physiological diversity is maintained within individual species of diatoms and how this diversity is shaped...
