The effects of both historical migrations and the caste system are reflected in the genetic structure of Y-chromosomes, autosomes and mitochondrial DNA in two populations from Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh in southern India.
BMC Genetics 2008, 9 :81
Longer-read pyrosequencing-based technologies have identified a large number of randomly distributed single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in pigs, enabling genotyping of commercial pig populations to proceed more easily
BMC Genetics 2008, 9 :59
The delayed systemic movement of tobacco mosaic virus in a particular ecotype of Arabidopisis is associated with the appearance of morphologically abnormal virions and with a recessive locus on chromosome II.
