Standard genetic sequencing approaches can tell you a lot about the genetic makeup and activity in a sample, like a piece of ...

These organisms are also successful models because of their versatility. “The best model species are ones that are not just ... including sexual divergence, genetic variation, social and environmental ...

To answer that, we turn back to linkage mapping in model organisms. The important thing ... is responsible for a specific phenotype. In a genetic screen, mapping allows scientists to link genes ...

1 Hoffman's team reported that on the East Coast of Australia, the classical latitudinal genetic clines of Drosophila have shifted over the past 20 years an equivalent of 4 degrees latitude (some 400 ...

This course explores fundamental concepts in classical and molecular genetics. We will examine how studies in genetic model organisms (including budding yeast, Drosophila, and C. elegans) have yielded ...

A team of researchers at Karolinska Institutet has developed a novel tool for genetic research. The study, published in ...

During the early years of the twentieth century, fruit flies were the model organism of choice for many genetic researchers, including those who worked in Thomas Hunt Morgan's famous "fly room ...

and behavioral and molecular genetic studies in model organisms, in order to understand behaviors of societal and health relevance, such as aging and dementia, drug use and abuse, cognitive abilities, ...
