The mitochondrial DNA of 62 Saami from the north of Norway was analyzed in the D loop hypervariable region I and II and sequences were compared to other gene pools. Two major (lineage 1 and 2) and two minor (lineage 3 and 4) maternal lineage clusters were found. Lineage 1 (56.9% of all hitherto analyzed Saami samples) contains a substantial number of branching haplotypes which are unknown in Eu...

This study aims to discuss the legal position of children incest, opinions madhhab scholars, and provisions on inheritance rights incest according Islamic law. normative used law methodological approach (ushul fiqh) legislation/ statute approach. The data were obtained through a literature review laws or rules. results revealed that in is terms civil matters (i.e., lineage/blood relations) betw...

Skinks (Family Scincidae) are the most diverse family of lizards (~1745 described species worldwide), and Australasian region (Australia, New Caledonia, Zealand) is a recognised global hotspot (>600 species) for skinks. Here we focus on determining phylogenetic relationships biogeography within tribe Eugongylini, one three lineages in region. We used mtDNA (ND2) nuclear (RAG-1, c-mos) DNA se...

Lineage specification of hematopoietic stem cells is considered a progressive restriction in lineage potential. This view is consistent with observations that differentiation and lineage specification is preceded by a low-level coexpression of lineage specific, potentially antagonistic genes in early progenitor cells. This coexistence, commonly referred to as priming, disappears in the course o...

Software lineage refers to the evolutionary relationship among a collection of software. The goal of software lineage inference is to recover the lineage given a set of program binaries. Software lineage can provide extremely useful information in many security scenarios such as malware triage and software vulnerability tracking. In this paper, we systematically study software lineage inference...

In insect societies, worker vs. queen development (reproductive caste) is typically governed by environmental factors, but many Pogonomyrmex seed-harvester ants exhibit strict genetic caste determination, resulting in an obligate mutualism between two reproductively isolated lineages. Same-lineage matings produce fertile queens while alternate-lineage matings produce sterile workers. Because ne...

BACKGROUND A group A Streptococcus (GAS) lineage of genotype emm3, sequence type 15 (ST15) was associated with a 6 month upsurge in invasive GAS disease in the UK. The epidemic lineage (Lineage C) had lost 2 typical emm3 prophages, Φ315.1 and Φ315.2 associated with the superantigen ssa, but gained a different prophage (ΦUK-M3.1) associated with a different superantigen, speC and a DNAse spd1. ...

Lineage, or provenance, in its most general form describes where data came from, how it was derived, and how it was updated over time. Information management systems today exploit lineage in tasks ranging from data verification in curated databases [1] to confidence computation in probabilistic databases [10, 12]. Here, we formalize and categorize lineage, discuss a set of selected papers, and ...
