Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) represent the most widespread type of sequence
variation in genomes, yet they have only emerged recently as valuable genetic markers for …

Denaturing high‐performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) compares two or more
chromosomes as a mixture of denatured and reannealed PCR amplicons, revealing the …

Insects comprise the largest species composition in the entire animal kingdom and possess
a vast undiscovered genetic diversity and gene pool that can be better explored using …

In Drosophila melanogaster, exposure of females to low temperature and shortened
photoperiod can induce the expression of reproductive quiescence or diapause. Diapause …

Previously reported applications of the 454 Life Sciences pyrosequencing technology have
relied on deep sequence coverage for accurate polymorphism discovery because of …

As a case study for single‐nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) identification in species for which
little or no sequence information is available, we investigated several approaches to …

Much of the knowledge about cryptochrome function in Drosophila stems from analyzing the
cryb mutant. Several features of this variant's light responsiveness imply either that CRYb …

Diapause is the classic adaptation to seasonality in arthropods, and its expression can result
in extreme lifespan extension as well as enhanced resistance to environmental challenges …

Map-based positional cloning of Drosophila melanogaster genes is hampered by both the
time-consuming, error-prone nature of traditional methods for genetic mapping and the …

Discovering single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in specific genes in a heterozygous
polyploid plant species, such as sugarcane, is challenging because of the presence of a …
