Nearby is a painted disc composed of traditional basket designs by the Cahuilla of Southern California (of which deSoto is a distant descendant through his paternal great-grandmother) encircled by the Latin word for smallpox.
At the same time, however, we are quickly realizing how vulnerable genomic information is: it is possible to identify individuals based on their genomic data by matching publicly available de-identified Y-chromosome data to genetic geneology databases, linking surnames between individuals and any distant relative on their paternal side (Gymrek et al. 2013).
He's paternal, in a distant way.
The mitochondrial genome structure in the alloplasmic line was genetically distant from both maternal and paternal genomes.
Although Mr. Austin invented the modern Father's Day, he didn't invent the paternal technique of impressing by remaining distant.
However, it implicates a recombination event in the distant past, albeit more recent than the original separation between the paternal and maternal lineages.
Under Mao's rigid scheme for annihilating culture, his maternal grandparents were packed off to a re-education program, and his paternal grandfather, prominent in theater and film, was sent away to the distant countryside, where he died alone, his own son not permitted to attend his funeral.
She had been retired for 10 years when the school board chose for the site of the county's new consolidated high school the Logan property, which Miss Leonora inherited from one of her paternal great-uncles, and which upon her death would go on to distant relatives of hers in Chicago.
Specifically, males were more likely to respond to close kin compared to more distant kin or unrelated females, with this effect being significant in the maternal, but not paternal kin-line.
In four out of five human data sets and one chimp set, nonrandom mutations at distant sites were less likely to be linked than nearby mutations--implying recombination between maternal and paternal DNA, says Eyre-Walker.
