This counterintuitive effect may result from the “genetic drift”, which corresponds to nonergodic in nature. In this situation, the increase of the enhancement is largely owing to mutations. Fig. 3.

Theories of how sex evolved are now being explored experimentally, particularly regarding the roles of epistasis and drift. Although a generalizable theory remains elusive, new models, including ...

For the conservation of natural genetic resources, ConservaGen software can provide both in situ and ex situ conservation strategies, which can be implemented for sampling the germplasm and ...

Scientists recently injected a fragment of 40,000-year-old genetic material from Neanderthals (Homo neanderthalensis) into laboratory mice.They used the CRISPR method to insert an archaic variant of ...
