We present a machine learning approach for estimating missing temporal attributes in genealogical data. Genealogy analyses have been commonly focused on understanding generational relations. The importance of temporal analyses has often been suppresed in genealogical research. We have observed that temporal attributes of an individual, birth, death, marriage and divorce dates, are frequently mi...

We have developed a 'Scan-Add-Print' database system, SAPling, to track and monitor asexually reproducing organisms. Using barcodes to uniquely identify each animal, we can record information on the life of the individual in a computerized database containing its entire family tree. SAPling has enabled us to carry out large-scale population dynamics experiments with thousands of planarians and ...

This article probes characteristics of writing relevant to assumptions genealogical practitioners make about written sources they use as evidence. Those infrequently examined include the assumption that represents past reality, truth univocally denotes correspondence between writing’s discourse and an event or act occurred in past, is transparent its reference and, therefore, not need critical ...

1. In this study I explore an apparent paradox in the history of Thailand's same-sex and transgender cultures. In Thailand, the later decades of the twentieth century were witness to a proliferation of transgender, transsexual and male and female same-sex identity categories and a dramatic increase in the public visibility of new gender/sexual cultures. However, this proliferation of identities...

The field of phylogenetics is entering a new era in which trees of historical relationships between species are increasingly inferred from multilocus and genomic data. A major challenge for incorporating such large amounts of data into inference of species trees is that conflicting genealogical histories often exist in different genes throughout the genome. Recent advances in genealogical model...

A variety of results for genealogical and line-of-descent processes that arise in connection with the theory of some classical selectively neutral population genetics models are reviewed. While some new results and derivations are included, the principle aim is to demonstrate the central importance and simplicity of genealogical Markov chains in this theory. Considerable attention is given to "...

The Sorenson Molecular Genealogy Foundation is building the world’s largest database of correlated genetic and genealogical information to enable genealogical research to be performed using DNA analysis techniques. DNA samples with associated 4-generation pedigree charts have so far been collected from approximately 40,000 volunteers. Up to 170 regions of DNA are currently analyzed for each ind...

In the age of digital content, information does not reach people only through standard and established linguistic genre forms. addition to hybrids, it is possible experience many other genres in public, accordance with context current reality. The first journalistic singled out from world literature -the column -today just small-scale literature. There are currents that we can observe angle lit...
