Henry Classification SystemThe Henry Classification System is a long-standing method by which fingerprints are sorted by physiological characteristics for one-to-many searching.
DermatoglyphicsDermatoglyphics (from Ancient Greek derma 'skin' and glyph 'carving') is the scientific study of fingerprints, lines, mounts and shapes of hands, as distinct from the superficially similar pseudoscience of palmistry. Dermatoglyphics also refers to the making of naturally occurring ridges on certain body parts, namely palms, fingers, soles, and toes.
TwinOne of two offspring produced by the same pregnancyIdentical twins can be difficult to visually distinguish especially when young, as demonstrated by brothers Billy and Bobby Mauch.Twins are two offspring produced by the same pregnancy.
FingerA finger is a prominent, multi-jointed digit on the forelimbs of tetrapod vertebrate animals with prehensile extremities (i.e. hands) such as humans and other primates, and is typically covered with a keratinized nail to protect the end (i.e. fingertip). Most tetrapods have five digits (pentadactyly), digits that are significantly shorter than the metacarpal/metatarsals, are typically referred to as toes; while digits that are notably elongated are called fingers.
LactaseMore reference expression dataBioGPSEnsemblUniProtRefSeq (mRNA)RefSeq (protein)Location (UCSC)Chr 2: 135.79 – 135.84 MbChr 1: 128.21 – 128.26 MbPubMed searchWikidataLactase (EC3.2.1.108) is an enzyme produced by many organisms and is essential to the complete digestion of whole milk. It breaks down the sugar lactose into its component parts, galactose and glucose, simple sugars that can be absorbed into the bloodstream through an animal's intestines.
Forensic scienceForensic science, often known as criminalistics, is the application of science principles and methods to support decision-making related to rules or law, generally criminal and civil law. During criminal investigation in particular, it is governed by the legal standards of admissible evidence and criminal procedure.
Amino acidOrganic compounds containing amine and carboxylic groupsStructure of a typical L-alpha-amino acid in the "neutral" formAmino acids are organic compounds that contain both amino and carboxylic acidfunctional groups. Although over 500 amino acids exist in nature, by far the most important are the 22 α-amino acids incorporated into proteins. Only these 22 appear in the genetic code of life.
GlucoseNaturally produced monosaccharideChemical compoundGlucose is a sugar with the molecular formulaC6H12O6. It is the most abundant monosaccharide, a subcategory of carbohydrates. It is made from water and carbon dioxide during photosynthesis by plants and most algae. It is used by plants to make cellulose, the most abundant carbohydrate in the world, for use in cell walls, and by all living organisms to make adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is used by the cell as energy.UreaUrea, also called carbamide (because it is a diamide of carbonic acid), is an organic compound with chemical formula CO(NH2)2. This amide has two amino groups (−NH2) joined by a carbonyl functional group (−C(=O)−). It is thus the simplest amide of carbamic acid. Urea serves an important role in the cellular metabolism of nitrogen-containing compounds by animals and is the main nitrogen-containing substance in the urine of mammals.Per-comparison error rateIn statistics, per-comparison error rate (PCER) is the probability of a Type I error in the absence of any multiple hypothesis testing correction. This is a liberal error rate relative to the false discovery rate and family-wise error rate, in that it is always less than or equal to those rates.
BiometricsBiometrics are body measurements and calculations related to human characteristics and features. Biometric authentication (or realistic authentication) is used in computer science as a form of identification and access control. It is also used to identify individuals in groups that are under surveillance. Biometric identifiers are the distinctive, measurable characteristics used to label and describe individuals.
StatisticsStudy of collection and analysis of dataThe normal distribution, a very common probability density, is used extensively in inferential statistics.Scatter plots and line charts are used in descriptive statistics to show the observed relationships between different variables, here using the Iris flower data set.Statistics (from German: Statistik, orig.
