  Identical twins, also called as monozygotic twins, are created when a single egg and sperm pair separates a few days after fertilization . Because their DNA comes from a single source, their genetic composition is same, and their genetically determined qualities will be similar. Except in exceptionally rare situations of chromosomal defects, monozygotic twins are invariably of the same gender. Fraternal, or dizygotic, multiples, on the other hand, occur when two different eggs are fertilised by two separate sperm in a single ovulation cycle . They share around half of their specific genes in a unique combination of genes from both parents, much like any other sibling group. The stereotype about identical twins is that they have been identical in every way: they appear alike, dress alike, and have comparable likes and dislikes. Parents with identical twins, on the other hand, know much better. Despite their genetic similarity, identical multiples are separate group. They have a ...

  Fingerprint profiling (FPP) is a method to detect and categorizing rearrangements in the human genome that exploits restriction digest fingerprints of bacterial artificial chromosome clones. The methods are focused micro-deletions and balanced rearrangements by aligning experimental fingerprint patterns with in silico digests of the sequence assembly. Our method has the potential to be used as a whole-genome method for detecting and analyzing human genomic rearrangements. Physical map development is accelerating, thanks to the advent of new high-information content fingerprinting techniques for constructing BAC-based physical maps, and it's critical to figure out which procedures work best. Investigated five different techniques (one agarose-based and four utilising multiple enzymes) and determined that a two-enzyme strategy was preferable. Additionally, they discovered that fingerprinting more than 10 coverage provided no effect. We provide our own thorough simulation results...
