Ecological Genomics of Model Eukaryotes1
“It is of basic importance to understand the hereditary mechanisms that function in the perpetuation of the existing natural races and species and in the evolution of new ones, but investigations in this field are difficult and have largely been neglected. The commonly used laboratory organisms are inadequate to resolve differences that characterize natural biological entities found in the wild”
متن کاملEcological genetics of range size variation in Boechera spp. (Brassicaceae)
Many taxonomic groups contain both rare and widespread species, which indicates that range size can evolve quickly. Many studies have compared molecular genetic diversity, plasticity, or phenotypic traits between rare and widespread species; however, a suite of genetic attributes that unites rare species remains elusive. Here, using two rare and two widespread Boechera (Brassicaceae) species, w...
متن کاملProposal for Drosophila as a Model System for Comparative Genomics
The challenge of obtaining a complete annotation of functional genes and regulatory elements in the genomes of higher organisms remains a rate-limiting step to biological discovery. Recently, impressive progress has been reported based on comparative analysis of genome sequences of related species (Boffelli et al. 2003, Kellis et al. 2003). These studies underscore the pressing need to establis...
متن کاملinvestigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
Zebrafish: A Renewed Model System For Functional Genomics
In the post genome era, a major goal in molecular biology is to determine the function of the many thousands of genes present in the vertebrate genome. The zebrafish (Danio rerio) provides an almost ideal genetic model to identify the biological roles of these novel genes, in part because their embryos are transparent and develop rapidly. The zebrafish has many advantages over mouse for genome-...
