Recent advances in large-scale genome sequencing projects have opened up new
possibilities for the application of conventional mutation techniques in not only forward but …

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have gained wide use in humans and model
species and are becoming the marker of choice for applications in other species …

The intensification of food production via conventional crop breeding alone is inadequate to
cater for global hunger. The development of precise and expeditious high throughput …

Although genetic approaches to questions in fisheries management have been very useful
in the past, they have encountered consistent hurdles despite the development of new …

A growing world population, changing climate and limiting fossil fuels will provide new
pressures on human production of food, medicine, fuels and feed stock in the twenty-first …

Genetic fingerprinting is important for both certifying authenticity and traceability of fish
species. In the present study, three methodologies were developed for the identification of …

Species-specific DNA-based tags are valuable tools for the management of both fisheries
and commercial fish products. Eleven hake species of the genus Merluccius have been …

Background Doubled haploidy is a fundamental tool in plant breeding as it provides the
