Phylogeography is a field that combines principles of evolutionary biology, population genetics, and biogeography to understand the historical processes that have shaped the current geographic distribution of species, existing genetic diversity and their adaptations. Normally, phylogeographic patterns are the observable trends and structures in the genetic variation of populations across geographical space. The African Greater […]

Genome editing is a technology that allows for precise modifications to an organism’s genetic material, such as DNA or RNA. Genome editing works by introducing specific changes to the DNA sequence of an organism. At present, the newly introduced method of genome editing is efficiently done by using CRISPR-Cas9 system. The CRISPR-Cas9 system is a […]
