Sex determination of a Tunisian population by CT scan analysis of the skull

International Journal of Legal Medicine, 2017
It is widely accepted that the estimation of biological attributes in the human skeleton is more accurate when population-specific standards are applied. With the shortage of such data for contemporary North African populations, it is duly required to establish population-specific standards.

Sex determination of Australian Aboriginal skulls by discriminant function analysis

Australian Dental Journal, 1982
Abstract— The technique of discriminant function analysis was applied to determine the sex of Australian Aboriginal skulls using data derived from standardized roentgenograms. Even when only a few well‐defined landmarks were included, the functions, representing linear combinations of cranial variables, provided good discrimination.

Ancestral state reconstruction analysis of hymenopteran sex determination mechanisms

Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2009
AbstractWe provide the first phylogenetic evidence supporting complementary sex determination (CSD) as the ancestral mechanism for haplodiploidy in the Hymenoptera. It is currently not possible, however, to distinguish the evolutionary polarity of single locus (sl) CSD and multiple‐locus (ml) CSD given the available data.

Sex Determination from the Talus of Koreans by Discriminant Function Analysis*

Journal of Forensic Sciences, 2011
Abstract:  The aims of this study were to investigate the sex discriminating potential of the talus in Koreans and compare this with other analyses in different populations. Statistical analyses were performed using data from nine measurements acquired from 140 tali (70 men, 70 women). The talus of Koreans is dimorphic between sexes in all measurements

Linkage analysis of sex determination in the honey bee (Apis mellifera)

Molecular and General Genetics MGG, 1994
A colony-level phenotype was used to map the major sex determination locus (designated X) in the honey bee (Apis mellifera). Individual queen bees (reproductive females) were mated to single drones (fertile males) by instrumental insemination. Haploid drone progeny of an F1 queen were each backcrossed to daughter queens from one of the parental lines ...

Sex determination problems in forensic genetic analysis

Forensic Science International: Genetics Supplement Series, 2013
Abstract Sex determination is important in forensic cases of missing persons, rape or to establish the sexual identity. There are molecular tools to determine the sex such as the simultaneous quantification of autosomal DNA and Y chromosome and the typification of amelogenin and Y chromosome markers but do not always yield accurate data on the ...

Sex Determination by Discriminant Function Analysis of Lateral Radiographic Cephalometry

Journal of Forensic Sciences, 1996
Abstract The present work is an attempt to develop a new method to determine sex from the skull with lateral radiographic cephalometry and discriminant function analysis. The superciliary ridges, frontal sinuses, external occipital protuberance, and mastoid processes were adopted as objects of lateral radiographic cephalometric ...

Determination of Sex Discriminant Function Analysis in Chinese Human Skulls

2018
Introduction: Human identity and sex determination are crucial for forensic investigations. The human skull is a useful tool for identities in natural disasters and criminal investigations. Aim: Using stepwise Fisher and logistic regression to build multivariate linear discriminant function to achieve sex determination for Uighur adult skull of Turpan,

Sex determination by discriminant analysis: an evaluation of the reliability of patella measurements

Forensic Science International, 2005
Recently, a method which estimates the sex of unknown skeletal remains by discriminant function analysis of the patella has received much recognition. With seven simple measurements and a sexing accuracy of almost 84% this morphometric approach would be very suitable both in the forensic and anthropological context.
