Biologists unlock 51.7-million-year-old genetic secret to landmark Darwin theory

2016-12-02 13:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld

[NEWS] Scientists have identified the cluster of genes responsible for reproductive traits in the Primula flower, first noted as important by Charles Darwin more than 150 years ago. Darwin hypothesised that some plant species with two distinct forms of flower, where male and female reproductive organs were of differing lengths, had evolved that way to promote out-crossing by insect pollinators. His ground-breaking insight into the significance of the two forms of flo…

Thermo Fisher Scientific Research Monitors Genetic Diversity of European PRRSV

2016-06-08 02:00:00| ThePigSite - Industry News

EUROPE - The porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) virus mutates rapidly, especially European strains, creating a challenge for diagnostic laboratories to monitor the disease. Today, Thermo Fisher Scientific presented research at the Pig Veterinary Society (IPVS) Congress showing the genetic diversity of the PRRS virus and how the company is monitoring and evolving its diagnostic tools to ensure highly accurate results.
