Several methods have been proposed to assign values to samples that are below the limit of detection, all of which may introduce bias [ 39 40 41 ] . We have used a method based on one described by Hornung and Reed [ 40 ] and modified in conjunction with scientists from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to reduce overestimation when summing many individual congeners for which few of the samples are detectable.
It is difficult for the nonspecialist reader (like me) to assess the validity of his arguments, which are based on his contention that the language (and its congeners) were carried along by the spread of nomad pastoralism.
The specific PCB congeners to which people were exposed following the Yucheng and Yusho incidents may have been somewhat different from those found in Great Lakes fish and fish consumers [ 3 49 51 54 55 56 ] , and, unlike exposure to PCBs from Great Lakes fish, the Yucheng and Yusho incidents also involved significant exposure to polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) as a result of heating the contaminated rice oil for cooking [ 49 51 54 ] . Whether these differences could explain the differences in sex ratio findings between the Yusho and Yu-cheng incidents and our findings is not clear.

Preconception parental estrogen levels have also been hypothesized to affect the sex ratio of live births [ 22 ] , and given the estrogenic and anti-estrogenic actions of different PCB congeners [ 57 58 ] , this could be another mechanism by which parental exposure to PCBs alters the sex ratio.
Rather, it is sufficient that the training set be related to, but not necessarily congeners of, the species from which sequences are being compared.
