Phylogénétique moléculairevignette|Séquençage moléculaire La phylogénétique moléculaire est l'utilisation de séquences de macromolécules biologiques pour obtenir des informations sur l'histoire évolutive des organismes vivants, et notamment sur leurs liens de parenté (leur phylogénie). C'est un important outil d'étude parmi ceux de l'évolution moléculaire. Le produit d'une analyse de phylogénétique moléculaire est soit un arbre phylogénétique, soit un graphe du réseau phylogénétique.
Échantillonnage stratifiévignette|Vous prenez un échantillon aléatoire stratifié en divisant d'abord la population en groupes homogènes (semblables en eux-mêmes) (strates) qui sont distincts les uns des autres, c'est-à-dire. Le groupe 1 est différent du groupe 2. Ensuite, choisissez un EAS (échantillon aléatoire simple) distinct dans chaque strate et combinez ces EAS pour former l'échantillon complet. L'échantillonnage aléatoire stratifié est utilisé pour produire des échantillons non biaisés.
Conservation geneticsConservation genetics is an interdisciplinary subfield of population genetics that aims to understand the dynamics of genes in a population for the purpose of natural resource management and extinction prevention. Researchers involved in conservation genetics come from a variety of fields including population genetics, natural resources, molecular ecology, biology, evolutionary biology, and systematics. Genetic diversity is one of the three fundamental measures of biodiversity (along with species diversity and ecosystem diversity), so it is an important consideration in the wider field of conservation biology.
Genetics and the Origin of SpeciesGenetics and the Origin of Species is a 1937 book by the Ukrainian-American evolutionary biologist Theodosius Dobzhansky. It is regarded as one of the most important works of modern synthesis and was one of the earliest. The book popularized the work of population genetics to other biologists and influenced their appreciation for the genetic basis of evolution. In his book, Dobzhansky applied the theoretical work of Sewall Wright (1889–1988) to the study of natural populations, allowing him to address evolutionary problems in a novel way during his time.
Climate change in the United StatesClimate change has led to the United States warming by 2.6 °F (1.4 °C) since 1970. The climate of the United States is shifting in ways that are widespread and varied between regions. From 2010 to 2019, the United States experienced its hottest decade on record. Extreme weather events, invasive species, floods and droughts are increasing. Climate change's impacts on tropical cyclones and sea level rise also affects regions of the country. Cumulatively since 1850, the U.S.
Selectable markerA selectable marker is a gene introduced into a cell, especially a bacterium or to cells in culture, that confers a trait suitable for artificial selection. They are a type of reporter gene used in laboratory microbiology, molecular biology, and genetic engineering to indicate the success of a transfection or other procedure meant to introduce foreign DNA into a cell. Selectable markers are often antibiotic resistance genes (An antibiotic resistance marker is a gene that produces a protein that provides cells expressing this protein with resistance to an antibiotic.
