Project Update: June 2016 Our first field work was carried out
... To estimate the genetic diversity and population structure, both mitochondrial (cytochrome b) and microsatellite markers have been developed. Firstly, we assessed the species level by amplifying a 460 bp of cytochrome b in order to separate the two species and to have confirmation of each species wi ...

The Ethics of Species An Introduction About the Book www.cambridge.org/us/philosophy
... We are causing species to go extinct at extraordinary rates, altering existing species in unprecedented ways, and creating entirely new species. More than ever before, we require an ethic of species to guide our interactions with them. In this book, Ronald L. Sandler examines the value of species an ...

Discussion for lecture #3
... During the process of meiosis, which leads to the formation of gametes (eggs and sperm), each chromosome pair undergoes a process termed “crossing over”, whereby segments of the two chromosomes are interchanged. This results in new chromosomes that are different from the chromosomes contained in all ...

Sequence Alignment Introduction
... In modern taxonomic practice, scientists routinely analyze the DNA from specimens they collect to obtain a “DNA barcode,” a short DNA sequence unique to a particular species, which is used to identify the species it belongs to. For animals and many other eukaryotes, different genes have been used ...
