Although the pattern of induction was not consistent between the primary cell lines, this is not necessarily a weakness or limitation, but reflects the heterogeneous differences between GCTB specimens of different patients.
A very good quantitative agreement between the simulation results and X-ray tomography damage measurements in specimens of different notch acuities is obtained.
This similarity between the different estimates is notable as the two studies used specimens of different ages (juveniles versus adults), years and seasons.
Specimens of different pipid species were obtained from the pet trade and kept at different times between 1985-2011.
Moreover, tissue samples from 63 specimens were obtained from well-preserved specimens of different biological collections.
There was one instance of barcode sharing by members of different genera: Rhinocapsus vanduzeei (2 of 3 specimens) shared sequences with 2 of 5 specimens of Plagiognathus morrisoni, and maximum distance between specimens of R. vanduzeei and members of the P. fuscipes species group (P. emarginatae, fuscipes and morrisoni) was 0.806%.
DNA decay typically demonstrates baseless sites, double- and single-strand breaks, miscoding lesions and cross-links [ 26– 29], although the relative rates of different kinds of aDNA damage and their mode of accumulation vary between specimens under different environmental conditions [ 30].
Refitting was possible for 14 specimens (34.1% of cases), including re-fits between specimens found during different excavation campaigns.
