A research team identified a P. viticola-resistant locus, Rpv34, in table grapes through analysis of a high-density genetic map with 826 SNPs derived from F1 progenies of ‘Moldova’ (resistant) and ‘Shine Muscat’ (susceptible parent).

How organs of male and female mammals differ
The development of sex-specific characteristics is frequently seen in mammals. These characteristics stem from the activation of corresponding genetic programmes that until now have been largely undescribed by the scientific community.
From cavefish to humans: Evolution of metabolism in cavefish may provide insight into treatments for a host of diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and stroke
New research examines how cavefish developed unique metabolic adaptations to survive in nutrient-scarce environments. The study created a genome-wide map of liver tissue for two independent colonies of cavefish along with river fish to understand how cavefish metabolism evolved and how this may be applicable for humans.
Mapping Study Yields Novel Insights into DNA-Protein Connection, Paving Way for Researchers to Target New Treatments
DNA-to-protein mapping could help researchers understand some health disparities.
