Reintroduction to classical genetics.

چکیده
DR. NORMA DAVIS: Thank you Dr. Billings for a very interesting presentation. Our next presenter is Dr. Laird Jackson who comes from Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia. He’s a Professor of Medicine, Pediatrics and Obstetrics & Gynecology. After graduating from Pomona College in California, he received his medical degree at the University of Cincinnati and, I believe, has been at Jefferson University Hospital since then. He did an internal medicine residency which was followed by a fellowship in medical oncology and since 1969, he has held the position of Director of Medical Genetics where he specializes in prenatal diagnosis and genetic disorders. He teaches a formal genetics course to medical students and then participates actively in a summer genetics course conducted at the Jackson Laboratory in Maine. He’s also doing research, tracking the significant genes in evolution of colon cancer. This morning he’s going to refresh our memories, giving us a "Reintroduction to Classical Genetics." (applause)

Reintroduction of the endangered and endemic plant species Cochlearia bavarica—Implications from conservation genetics
Population reintroduction is a common practice in conservation, but often fails, also due to the effects of inbreeding or outbreeding depression. Cochlearia bavarica is a strongly endangered plant species endemic to Bavaria in Germany, constantly declining since the late 1980s. Therefore, population reintroduction is intended. In this study, we analyzed genetic diversity within and genetic diff...
متن کاملReintroduction of the European Capercaillie from the Capercaillie Breeding Centre in Wisła Forest District: Genetic Assessments of Captive and Reintroduced Populations
The Western capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus) is a specific bird species, which, despite its very broad distribution and large global population size, is highly endangered in many Western and Central European countries. According to the species situation, in many countries (including Poland), breeding and reintroduction programmes have been started. One of the most complex and large-scale reintro...
متن کاملViability and Risk Assessment in Species Restoration: Planning Reintroductions for the Wild Boar, a Potential Disease Reservoir
The reintroduction of large mammals is often considered a priority conservation action in highly industrialized countries in which many of these species have been depleted. However, species reintroduction after decades of absence may involve important risks for human activities and ecological communities, such as favoring the spread of diseases. An example of a potentially troublesome reintrodu...
متن کاملLarge-scale genetic survey provides insights into the captive management and reintroduction of giant pandas.
The captive genetic management of threatened species strives to preserve genetic diversity and avoid inbreeding to ensure populations remain available, healthy, and viable for future reintroduction. Determining and responding to the genetic status of captive populations is therefore paramount to these programs. Here, we genotyped 19 microsatellite loci for 240 captive giant pandas (Ailuropoda m...
متن کاملLandscape genetics of fishers (Martes pennanti) in the Northeast: dispersal barriers and historical influences.
Habitat fragmentation and overtrapping are thought to have resulted in severe population declines for fisher (Martes pennanti) across the northeastern United States, and by the end of the 1930s only 3 remnant populations remained. Subsequent trapping cessation, extensive reintroduction programs, and natural recolonization have helped fishers to reclaim much of their historical range. The degree...
