Hybrid breeding may lead to a revolution in potato farming, creating new varieties resistant to disease and drought.

The genome of a Neanderthal named Thorin suggested he was part of an unknown lineage. He and his community stayed isolated ...

IRRI scientists have developed a new rice variety with lower glycemic index, potentially reducing diabetes risk ...

Phenotypic plasticity enables plants to adjust their physical traits in response to environmental variations, playing a vital ...

Given the proliferation of mouse genetic models (for example, knockout and transgenic models, selectively bred lines, heterogeneous stocks derived from standard inbred strains as well as wild mice ...

This section describes the rules that the INBREED procedure uses to compute the covariance and inbreeding coefficients. Each computational rule is explained by an example referring to the fictitious ...

Furthermore, the specific alleles that do segregate, particularly in inbred lines, may not be relevant to natural populations. Other alleles at these same loci are likely to be of interest ...

The Habsburgs were one of Europe's most powerful royal houses, but entire sections of their family line collapsed after centuries of inbreeding. Recent studies have shown how AI programs ...

Dr. Ejeta utilizes a variety of research tools and works in interdisciplinary collaboration with a number of other scientists and programs. Professor Ejeta has released a large number of inbred lines, ...

The latest genetic testing tool launched by Equinome could save thoroughbred studs and racehorse owners considerable amounts ...

Conservation scientists estimate India is home to 60 per cent of the population of Asian elephants. Their current populations ...
