21. Bioinformatic screening for candidate mutations underlying phenotypic traits in domestic animals
Abstract : Domestic animals represent excellent model organisms for gene mapping and identification of mutations underlying phenotypic traits. Humans have selected spontaneous mutations in farm and companion animals since they were domesticated and this has resulted in large phenotypic variation among different breeds. READ MORE

22. Spontaneous and induced mutations at the human minisatellite MS32 in yeast
Abstract : Tandem repetitive DNA including minisatellites make up a large part of eukaryotic genomes, and some tandem repetitive loci are associated with human disease. Little is known about the functions and dynamics of these sequences. Hypervariable minisatellites are used as naturally occurring genetic markers and form the basis of DNA fingerprinting. READ MORE

23. Exploring genetic diversity in natural and domestic populations through next generation sequencing
Abstract : Studying genetic diversity in natural and domestic populations is of major importance in evolutionary biology. The recent advent of next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies has dramatically changed the scope of these studies, enabling researchers to study genetic diversity in a whole-genome context.

24. Genomic studies of sex differences : On mutations, recombination, and sexual antagonism in songbirds
Abstract : Many organisms have separate sexes, i.e., males and females. The presence of separate sexes causes sex-specific selection regimes and sexual antagonism, which can lead to sex differences in morphology, physiology, and behaviours. READ MORE

25. A screen for mutations affecting PNS development in Drosophila identifies the trim gene, dappled
Abstract : The peripheral nervous system of Drosophila melanogaster contains a variety of sense organs, ranging from the relatively simple four celled bristle organ to the more complex compound eye. The development of each organ type is well described, providing a useful backdrop for functional studies of genes acting in one or more of the many processes involved in organogenesis. READ MORE
