Selected features of marsupial genetics
Genetica, 1993As a consequence of the ancient separation of the marsupial and eutherian lineages, comparative genetical studies of these two mammalian taxa can be particularly informative. The potential for marsupial genetical research has been enhanced by the development of laboratory colonies of three 'model' species--Macropus eugenii, Monodelphis domestica and ...

Genetic prediction and adverse selection
AbstractThe predictive power of genetic data has increased dramatically and is reaching levels of clinical utility for many diseases. Meanwhile, many countries have banned insurers from utilizing genetic information, despite concerns about adverse selection. We make three contributions.Eduardo Azevedo +2 more

Abstract Sexual selection was defined by Darwin (1871) as selection that “depends on the advantage that certain individuals have over other individuals of the same sex and species, in exclusive relation to reproduction.” Sexual selection was developed separately from natural selection because Darwin wished to explain the evolution of ...

Selection Induced Genetic Variation
2004Selection of broiler chickens for juvenile growth rate and proportion of breast weight is an ongoing instance of intense long-term directional selection. The response was accompanied by correlated effects on reproductive performance and livability.

Genetic Selection and Biotechnology
1995The strides of technological progress in engineering and information systems have been astounding. But the advances in agriculture, livestock production, and the fisheries are also impressive. Not only is man a master of machines, but he is on his way to engineer and control “nature” as well.
