It can be used when referring to the process of researching one's ancestry or family history.
Example: "I decided to embark on an ancestral search to learn more about my family's origins and heritage."
Alternatives: "genealogical research" or "family history search".
On the one hand, this bounty may have contributed to likelihood that the ancestral search-independently-and-recruit foraging strategy was invaded by gang-foraging by undermining the value of sharing information acquired independently (compare (a), (b) with (c), (d) in Figure 1).
We supplemented electronic searches with hand searching of key epilepsy journals Seizure, Epilepsia, Epilepsy & Behaviour, and ancestral searching of reference lists from relevant studies.
We have designed a computational workflow, here named AnABlast (Ancestral-patterns search through A BLAST-based strategy), to search for putative coding sequences in genomic regions.
Weak monsoons for the last two years have forced hundreds of migrants to leave their ancestral lands in search of water in the cities.
The author's account of the 29 days he spent in a psychiatric hospital in Queens as a young man unhinged by substance abuse and dread of sexual violation is interwoven with passages about a subsequent road trip to Maine, his ancestral home, in search of clues to his family's murky history.
Instead of the reconstruction of ancestral sequences, we search for the optimal reconstruction of ancestral gene lengths.
In the second strategy to identify ancestral alleles, we searched for patterns of divergence among the 8,416 coding sequences.
Genomatix FrameWorker does not reconstruct ancestral states, but searches in a set of sequences for common patterns to detect modules.
For each of the 11 species, we then searched ancestral inter-CDS regions in the other 10 species.
