Allele frequencies for 19 autosomal STRs (F13A01, FESFPS, F13B, LPL, D5S818, D7S820, THO1, TPOX, VWA31, CSF1P0, D16S539, D13S317, D3S1358, D8S1179, FGA, PENTA D, PENTA E, D21S11, D18S51) were estimated from a sample between 364 and 400 unrelated individuals living in the northern department of Antioquia.

Using mutagens on sperm and spermatids we have produced nineteen chromosomal inversions in mice. The levels of radiation and chemical mutagen we used induced inversions in about one per cent of the animals screened. Nine inversions have been transmitted through successive generations, and the particular frequency of first meiotic anaphase bridges manifested by each inversion remained constant. ...

To evaluate the population genetic diversity of the ovate pompano, we isolated and characterized 19 microsatellite markers using a (CA)13-enriched genomic library. Polymorphism was assessed in 30 individuals from a single population collected from the Daya Bay Aquaculture Center, Guangdong, China. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 18 with an average of 7.8. The observed and expec...

Eighty-six patients had a total of eighty-eight primary attempts at repair of a pseudarthrosis that had developed after a localized arthrodesis in the lumbar spine. A follow-up questionnaire was sent to all patients at a mean of fifty-one months (range, twenty-five to seventy-eight months) after the operation; seventy-two patients (84 percent) completed to questionnaire. A solid fusion was ulti...
