Genetically modified organisms must not be allowed to spread uncontrollably. Scientists are therefore keen to take advantage of a mechanism that will localise the spread of mutants. Mutants with a ...

Ecological and microevolutionary processes impacting parasite populations are increasingly being studied using population genetic analyses (reviewed by Criscione et al., 2005; de Meeûs et al., 2007; ...

Genetic screening programs of the general population are aimed at preventing common genetic diseases. There are several approaches for conducting genetic screening with depend on the target population ...

For female sheep, size matters. It has long been known that rams with big horns father twice as many lambs as those with small or no horns. Two years back, a team of scientists identified the gene in ...
