Two different Spanish populations, one from Galicia (NW Spain) and the other from the rest of Spain, have been analyzed at three different hypervariable loci (YNH24, MS43a and MS31) using the EDNAP electrophoretic protocol and HinfI as restriction enzyme. Although the "rest of Spain" population is a clearly stratified population using classical blood groups, no evidence of stratification for these loci has been found and the differences to the Galician population were not significant, which suggests that a common Spanish population data-base could be possible. A semiparametric model is proposed for estimating frequencies, using the smoothed cross-validation of Hall et al. (1992) to calculate the size of the window utilized.
A case of illegal cattle purchasing is presented. Basque country police submitted six blood samples: three from the allegedly stolen animals and three from the putative mothers. Four polymorphic DNA loci were analyzed to establish the parental relationship. From the case investigation the maternity of the alleged cattle was determined.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
