Abstract: Chromosomal inversions often contribute to local adaptation across latitudinal clines, but the underlying selective mechanisms remain poorly understood. We and others have previously shown that a clinal inversion polymorphism in Drosophila melanogaster, In(3R)Payne, underpins body… read more here.

Abstract: Survival can be considered a relatively ‘old’ trait in animal breeding, yet commonly neglected in aquaculture breeding because of the simple binary records and generally low heritability estimates. Developing routine genetic evaluation systems for survival… read more here.
