This library (collection of subroutines) is presented for calculating standard quantities in the decomposition of many–electron matrix elements in atomic structure theory. These quantities include the coefficients of fractional parentage, the reduced coefficients of fractional parentage as well as reduced and completely reduced matrix elements for several operators. So the library is assigned f...

Fish species have diverse breeding behaviors that make them valuable for testing theories on genetic mating systems and reproductive tactics. Here we review genetic appraisals of paternity and maternity in wild fish populations. Behavioral phenomena quantified by genetic markers in various species include patterns of multiple mating by both sexes; frequent cuckoldry by males and rare cuckoldry ...

The use of DNA technology for parentage testing is increasing every day. Most laboratories have improved their exclusion probabilities (PE) by the addition of DNA microsatellite loci to standard blood-typing results. The efficacy of each locus depends on the number of alleles detected and their frequencies in the breeds tested. Here we analyzed the usefulness of six microsatellites for routine ...

The identification of broad classes of DNA probes which detect hypervariable genetic markers in different taxa is invaluable for parentage analysis in wild vertebrates. Restriction-fragment-length polymorphisms, detected by hybridization of a mouse class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) cDNA probe to genomic DNA from red-winged blackbirds (Ageluius phoeniceus), are shown to have the ge...
