Using the program STRUCTURE, we found that the most likely number of ancestral populations (K) was one, indicating that Texas White-winged Doves form a single genetic cluster. If we assumed K = 2, each individual assigned with almost equal probability to each genetic cluster indicating a high gene flow among locations.

"According to the study, the genetic cluster of Druze coincides closely with those of the Samaritans, and is very close to the genetic clusters of Ashkenazim, Sephardim, and Jews from the Caucasus," says MiSinai, author of an ambitious study on "Jewish nationhood" called "Brother Shall Not Lift Sword Against Brother."

Although three times as many cases were reported from India during the first half of 2006 compared with the same period in 2005, genetic-sequencing data indicate that transmission is now restricted to only one circulating WPV1 genetic cluster, and over half of the chains of virus transmission present in 2004 have been eliminated.
