TL;DR: It is suggested that Y-STR loci are useful markers to identify males and male lineages in forensic practice and recommended for the forensic application of a basic set of 7 STRs for standard Y-haplotyping in forensic and paternity casework.

TL;DR: The increased occurrence of CD8+CD28− clonal expansions in elderly persons who fail to produce specific Abs following influenza vaccination may be decisive for the development of immune deficiency in the elderly.

TL;DR: Although Affymetrix GeneChip 500K genotype data from 2,514 individuals belonging to 23 different subpopulations was investigated, the existing differences were characterized by a strong continent-wide correlation between geographic and genetic distance, which provided evidence for a spatial continuity of genetic diversity in Europe.
Journal ArticleDOI
Species identification by means of the cytochrome b gene
TL;DR: The applicability of this method to the forensic field is demonstrated by simulated casework conditions where different types of samples including problematic specimens such as hair, bone samples, bristles and feathers were investigated to identify the species.
