As everybody knows, the problem with the gene pool is there’s no lifeguard. Joe Crawford is an award-winning columnist and longtime Alton resident who frequently writes columns for The Telegraph. He ...

A good gene pool, like love, is where you find it. Now genomics researchers have two new ones to swoon over: one from Estonia, a crossroads of Scandinavian cultures and the northernmost of the former ...

Potatoes are a staple food for over 1.3 billion people. But despite their importance for global food security, breeding ...

A gene pool is the collective set of genes found across all organisms in a population. In this page, you will learn about variation within gene pools, as well as the ways in which this variation ...

This means that the gene pool of a population is dynamic and can change at any moment for a variety of reasons. In addition, the rate of change within a gene pool can vary at different points in time.

As in the example of human diseases, genetically determined traits that would ordinarily be uncommon in the overall gene pool might crop up with distressing frequency in a small subset of that pool.

In an effort to introduce fresh genetics into the local swan population and diversify the gene pool, the City of Lakeland recently acquired six new white mute swans.

A research team has decoded the genome of historic potato cultivars and used this resource to develop an efficient method for analysis of hundreds of additional potato genomes.
