Among scientists, it is widely accepted that the structure of genomes largely controls their transcriptional activity within the cell. Structural features known as chromatin are responsible for this ...

Comparison of primary DNA sequences between closely related organisms is a powerful tool for identifying important, conserved genetic sequences, and the function of unknown sequences may be inferred ...

Although geneticists would not survive without mutations, they could easily live without the tedious hassle of finding them. And, generally speaking, the bigger the model organism, the harder the slog ...
