Entire regions of trees are disappearing because of invasive pests, disease and a changing climate. The key to their ability ...

Therefore, Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium describes an idealized state of a population, and genetic variations in nature can be measured as changes from this ideal. The Hardy-Weinberg equation is ...

The female-dominated history of the X chromosome makes it an ideal system for studying population-genetic differences between males and females, particularly the differences in mutation rate and ...

This parameter is defined as the number of individuals that, under theoretically ideal conditions, would be expected to exhibit the same level of genetic variance as the real population of interest.

Bed bugs have been biting humans since they emerged from caves around 60,000 years ago making them possibly the “first true ...

The fact that we can reconstruct events from hundreds of thousands or millions of years ago just by looking at DNA today is astonishing,” stated Aylwyn Scally of Cambridge University. That sums up the ...

If you could take one or more ideal examples of the species and ensure that all the male livestock in a given population are spreading those genetic traits, the offspring take on the traits ...

Their work will become a foundation of the science of population genetics.

Results of this large-scale assessment of human methylation quantitative trait loci (mQTL)—genetic variants that ... throughout the genome—may not be ideal for population-level epigenetics.

Li Jiayang from the Institute of Genetics ... Ideal Plant Architecture (IPA) is the morphological and structural characteristics of plants that enable them to achieve maximum population potential ...
