X-chromosomal STRs: Metapopulations and mutation rates
Gusmão, L.; Antão-Sousa, S.; Faustino, M.; Abovich, M.A.; Aguirre, D.; Alghafri, R.; Alves, C.; Amorim, A.; Arévalo, C.; Baldassarri, L.The analysis of STRs located on the X chromosome has been one of the strategies used to address complex kinship cases. Its usefulness is, however, limited by the low availability of population haplotype frequency data and lack of knowledge on the probability of mutations. Due to the large amount of data required to obtain reliable estimates, it is important to investigate the possibility of grouping data from p...

Bilbao, J.; Bravo, E.; García, O.; Rebollar, C.; Varela, C.; Uukkivi, A.; Labanova, O.; Latõnina, Marina; Safiulina, E.; Cellmer, Anna; Cymerman, JoannaAbstract: - Although Mathematics is a pillar which many of the subjects of any Engineering degree are based on, and in spite of being used as a tool in almost all of such subjects, it is sometimes difficult for students to assimilate the mathematical concepts. Since this relationship between Engineering and Mathematics is unavoidable, a consortium of universities from different countries is working on a project...

Pereira, R.; Alves, C.; Aler, M.; Amorim, A.; Arévalo, C.; Betancor, E.; Braganholi, D. [UNESP]; Bravo, M. L.; Brito, P.; Builes, J. J.; Burgos, G.Made available in DSpace on 2018-12-11T16:49:58Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2018-01-01; A collaborative effort was carried out by the Spanish and Portuguese Speaking Working Group of the International Society for Forensic Genetics (GHEP-ISFG) to promote knowledge exchange between associate laboratories interested in the implementation of indel-based methodologies and build allele frequency...
Profitability of sheep grazing in young conifer plantations of British Columbia...
Serra, R.; Opio, C.; Khasa, D.P.; García, O.In British Columbia (BC), sheep grazing, as a silvopastoral system, is occasionally used as a biological weed control method in young conifer plantations. As it is a relatively new method in BC, there is presently a lack of information about the profitability of the practice. For instance, there is no scientific data about the gain in profitability as a function of the number of grazing treatments applied. What...
Results of the GEP-ISFG collaborative study on an X-STR Decaplex
Gusmão, L.; Alves, C.; Sánchez-Diz, P.; Zarrabeitia, M.T.; Abovich, M.A.; Aragón, I.; Arce, B.; Arrieta, G.; Arroyo, E.; Atmetlla, I.; Baeza, C.A collaborative work was carried out by the Spanish and Portuguese ISFG Working Group with a PCR multiplex for X chromosome STRs. Markers were selected among those described as polymorphic in humans and that have been used by some laboratories in forensics. Primers and various technical methods were investigated with the aim of optimizing a multiplex for the 10 selected X-STRs. Primer mix stock solutions were s...
