Human DNA can also be used as a tool for determining ancestry. DNA is passed down through the generations, leaving telltale markers of family relationships that can extend back a thousand years. A simple DNA test can reveal ethnicity, show whether two people are related, if they are descended...
nationality, ethnicity, gender) and we can’t wait for them to interact with each other and other interested entomologists. Some of our speakers have never been to an entomological meeting. We expect to get them hooked, or at least speak well of us entomologists once they are back at ...
An issue is to determine which stakeholder should be respon- sible for implementing interoperability; ensuring that those inve- sting in interoperability are rewarded in some form. How this can be achieved is unclear. As Charles Jaffe, CEO of HL7, puts it: "Fundamentally, I consider the ...

How does cystic fibrosis affect child development? What are personal factors in child development? What is the role...
Three DNA test types designed for genetic genealogy can now provide insights into ethnicity. Like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, each test makes a unique contribution to your research. Yet each test has advantages and limitations. Which test you should use will depend on your situation and your per...
Studies have been done to try to determine the chemical makeup that might explain why the prairie vole forms this lifelong, monogamous relationship when its very close relative, the montane vole, does not. According to studies by Larry Young, a social attachment researcher at Emory University, ...
“American Indian” and “Hispanic.” Research has shown that large numbers of Hispanic people aren’t sure how to answer the race question when that question is asked separately because they understand race and ethnicity to be similar and they often pick ...
To determine the risk of a potential carrier having a child with fragile X, triplet repeats (CGGs) in theFMR1gene must be quantified. However, it is difficult for many technologies to quantify these repeats accurately. In addition, there are triplet-repeat interrupting sequences (AGGs) that can...
