Article - 29/03/2008 Artificial micro RNAs in plant breeding Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology in Tübingen and their colleagues from the International Rice Research Institute in the Philippines succeeded in accelerating rice plant breeding by using artificial small RNA molecules.https://www.gesundheitsindustrie-bw.de/en/article/press-release/artificial-micro-rnas-in-plant-breeding
Article - 20/03/2008 The effect of migration from Africa on genetic diversity in Europe The paper by Lohmueller et al. 2008 shows that there is proportionally more deleterious genetic variation in European than in African populations. This revelation enables conclusions to be made on the group that emigrated from Africa several thousand years ago.https://www.gesundheitsindustrie-bw.de/en/article/news/the-effect-of-migration-from-africa-on-genetic-diversity-in-europe
