The study observed population of 484 generation restrictive genealogies collected in four Croatian regions during 1970/71 within "The study of fat and carbohydrate metabolism indicators correlated with the occurrence of diabetes in animal fat and oil consuming population groups". The genealogies were collected on two islands (Brac and Hvar) and in two continental regions (Sinjska Krajina and Sr...

We consider the Wright-Fisher model with exponential population growth and investigate effects of population growth on the shape of genealogy and the distributions of several test statistics of neutrality. In the limiting case as the population grows rapidly, the rapid-growth-limit genealogy is characterized. We obtained approximate expressions for expectations and variances of test statistics ...

As defined in the Chemical Genealogy database (Chemical Genealogy Database), ‘‘A professional genealogy (as opposed to a family genealogy) traces a person’s intellectual line of descent via one’s Ph.D. advisor or mentor for one’s highest non-honorary degree.’’ The professional genealogy for Professor Daniel I. C. Wang of the Department of Chemical Engineering of the Massachusetts Institute of T...

The genealogy of a cluster in the multitype voter model can be defined in terms of a family of dual coalescing random walks. We represent the genealogy of a cluster as a point process in a size-time plane and show that in high dimensions the genealogy of the cluster at the origin has a weak Poisson limit. The limiting point process is the same as for the genealogy of the size-biased Galton-Wats...

Two scenarios of neuronal evolution (monophyly and polyphyly) are discussed in the historical timeline starting from the 19th century. The recent genomic studies on Ctenophores re-initiated a broad interest in the hypotheses of independent origins of neurons. However, even earlier work on ctenophores suggested that their nervous systems are unique in many aspects of their organization and a pos...

The intersection between family genealogy and family communication is an area ripe for scholarly research within the field of communication studies, as well as the broader area of genealogy studies. The opportunity and desire to conduct family genealogical research continues to grow as the services and tools making such research become more affordable and user friendly. In reflecting upon the w...

The Chinese genealogies are the best resources for the family histories. They contain excellent information for people’s root tracing and for academic researches. Our Taiwan Genealogy Online Project aims to digitalize genealogy material and to provide online services. This paper explains the design theory and implementation ideas of our system for Chinese genealogy.

The central questions asked in whole-genome association studies are how to locate associated regions in the genome and how to estimate the significance of these findings. Researchers usually do this by testing each SNP separately for association and then applying a suitable correction for multiple-hypothesis testing. However, SNPs are correlated by the unobserved genealogy of the population, an...

SUMMARY RECSIM takes a general genealogy and simulates the transmission of chromosomes through that genealogy. INDSTATS extracts some basic statistics from the output of RECSIM.
