To estimate additive genetic components we used a 5-generation pedigree with N = 1374 birds and perfect knowledge of the parentage of all individuals [ 46, 56].
Ms. Morrison is the action heroine, a bail bondswoman with no knowledge of her royal parentage who is dragged to Storybrooke by her own young son, Henry (Jared Gilmore of "Mad Men," a little too adorable).

Finally, genetic technology informs a new concept of 'responsible' parentage where prior knowledge of risk appears significant when negotiating responsibility and the potential for blame (Finkler 2000).
Molecular genetic analyses of parentage provide insights into mating systems.
It is therefore likely that the panel may be used for assignment of parentage.
In two offspring, too few loci were successfully amplified to enable any assessment of parentage.
In orchid hybridization, records of parentage are occasionally lost, ambiguous or erroneous.
Standard formulas to convert the allelic frequencies into probability P of parentage exclusion were used [ 10].
In order to establish the confidence level of each assignment, Cervus conducts simulations of parentage assignment.
