Genetic engineering compared to natural genetic variations.
By comparing strategies of genetic alterations introduced in genetic engineering with spontaneously occurring genetic variation, we have come to conclude that both processes depend on several distinct and specific molecular mechanisms. These mechanisms can be attributed, with regard to their evolutionary impact, to three different strategies of genetic variation. These are local nucleotide sequ...
متن کاملNatural genotypes via genetic engineering.
Since livestock were first domesticated, humans have been selecting particular phenotypes as mating stock for each new generation. As a result, humans have been selecting for combinations of alleles that result in animals that better meet our needs: increased production, disease resistance, docility, and so forth. As purpose-bred animals became standard in animal agriculture, breeds began to di...
متن کاملComparisons in Evolution and Engineering: The Collective Intelligence of Sorting
Collaboration between biologists and roboticists can facilitate the creation of new behavioral algorithms by roboticists and help biologists by exposing the underlying mechanisms that allow the algorithms to function (for a review see Webb, 2000). This paper makes a direct comparison between robot annular puck sorting using real robots (Wilson, Melhuish, Sendova-Franks & Scholes, 2004) and broo...
متن کاملPeering into the Natural Genetic Engineering Toolbox
Peering into the Natural Genetic ligate themselves to DNA also mediate the relatively new Engineering Toolbox phenomenon of rolling-circle transposition, as illustrated by the bacterial IS91 element (M Pilar Garcillá n-Barcia et al.). Rolling circle transposition also occurs in Mobile DNA II eukaryotes and is significant because it generates the The amazing and rapidly growing family of rearran...
