diallel

1. (genetics) Involving crosses between several or all possible combinations.Examples: "Nine varieties were chosen for a diallel crossing"; "The main difference with design II is that the same individuals are used as parents for the diallel mating design (individuals are used both as male and female)."; "A series of diallel analyses (cf. Mather and Jinks, 1982) were performed to test for heterogeneity among lines of a given type."not-comparable

2. (rare) Of lines: Meeting and intersecting; not parallel.Examples: "[…] like conditions and common ends as the ideal and goal of human effort are attained along parallel and not diallel lines in all the diversities of human application and invention."; "Fundamental to this new theory is the discovery of diallel, gravitational-field lines. These connect the two bodies — providing a path for the gravitational information to flow. To see the evidence of these diallel lines in nature requires a paradigm shift away from the traditional view of gravitational interaction."; "[…] connecting diallel lines which provide not only particle flow between the bodies, but also the flow of photon and gravitational information as well […]"not-comparablerare
