related - connected by kinship, common origin, or marriage lineal, direct - in a straight unbroken line of descent from parent to child; "lineal ancestors"; "lineal heirs"; "a direct descendant of the king"; "direct heredity" collateral, indirect - descended from a common ancestor but throu...
The event that two individuals have a segment of chromosome in common, thus proving them to be related, corresponds to the random walk hitting a particular set of vertices. The probability of this happening is calculated for various types of relationship, making use of the symmetry of the ...
Assemblages are therefore characterised by a series of electrophoretic peaks that vary according to the length of the amplified IGS fragment of each bacterial species. Given that unrelated species may share the same IGS fragment length, the number of species represented by each ARISA peak remains ...
The influence of the rhizosphere on the response of the bacterial community in several plants species and conditions is well known, but it remains unclear how plant breeding shapes the assembly of the bacterial community in the rhizosphere. Plant breeding is a process involving the changes in plant...
Are humans and apes the same species? Are chimpanzees ancestors of humans? Are humans and apes different? Are chimpanzees apes? Do humans and chimpanzees share a common ancestor? How closely are the great apes related? Are Homo sapiens apes? Did humans evolve from apes? Did Homo sapiens evolv...
In addition to implicit anatomical related entities, abbreviations, which are common in medical records, are also difficult to retrieve using string-matching. Since the abbreviations of anatomical related entities in medical records are not always the same, it is not easy to build a supporting dicti...
Despite their importance to successful meiosis and various evolutionary processes, meiotic recombination rates sometimes vary within species or between closely related species. For example, humans and chimpanzees share virtually no recombination hotspot locations in the surveyed portion of the genomes. However...
In food-deceptive orchids of the genera Anacamptis, Neotinea and Orchis floral isolation has been shown to be weak, whereas late-acting reproductive barriers are mostly strong, often restricting hybridization to the F1 generation. Only in a few species h
establish successfully because they might share similar adaptations to the local environment with their native relatives, which was known as the pre-adaptation hypothesis24. On the other hand, Darwin also posited that non-native species phylogenetically distinct from the native species would tend to ...
Wheat is a major food crop, with around 765 million tonnes produced globally. The largest wheat producers include the European Union, China, India, Russia, United States, Canada, Pakistan, Australia, Ukraine and Argentina. Cultivation of wheat across suc
