Drawings of the animal, and a written description, were sent to the naturalist Joseph Banks, then president of the Royal Society of London, who published a paper on the specimen that year.
As age of the specimen and year of collection could be potential confounding variables in the analysis of foraging ecology, the age of each individual was determined.
The clonal cell line from the second specimen (10 year old, PD = 23.5) showed a normal female 46, XX karyotype in 70 cells examined.
Examination of the GTG-banded preparations from 3 flasks from a clonal cell line from one specimen (54 year old, PD = 31.3) revealed a normal female karyotype, 46, XX (Fig. 5A).
It has been estimated that pathology laboratories process 50 million specimens every year and it is possible that institutions in the U.S. have warehoused more than 300 million specimens[ 6].
Cytogenetic investigations were undertaken on 1 clonal cell line from 1 specimen (10 year-old female; PD = 31.3) and 2 clonal cell lines from a different specimen (54 year-old female; PD = 23.6 & 28.5).
Kaiser's testing laboratory in Berkeley, Calif., processes 300,000 to 500,000 cervical specimens a year.
He noted that the herbarium receives about 30,000 specimens each year for identification and study.
Now Kenyon Martin, flu-ridden and not himself but still a specimen 12 years younger than the retiring Robinson, was rumbling downcourt, trying to lead a final Nets charge from 7 points back.
Although he's well into his 40s and silver-haired, he has the sinewy arms and torso, glistening skin and frighteningly perfect teeth of an ideal human specimen 15 years younger.
