Example sentences for: sibship

How can you use “sibship” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • The TDT and C-TDT are limited by the fact that only one triad or discordant sibship is analyzed from a given family; thus these two tests examine only a subset of the data from general pedigrees.

  • The original form of the PDT incorporates information from every possible triad and discordant sibship in a given family, to yield an average measure of disequilibrium for the entire pedigree.

  • Often, members of a sibship are separated by large geographical distances.

  • The third (discordant) sibling is collected for purposes of determining potential nonpaternities in a sibship (more than 4 alleles) and for better estimating the proportion of alleles shared that are identical by state (in the absence of parents).

  • The pedigree disequilibrium test (PDT) improves upon these two tests by generating a measure of linkage disequilibrium for every discordant sibship and triad in a pedigree [ 17].
