Genomic Study of Eastern Massasauga Rattlesnakes Suggests Old School Genetics Still Works
Researchers found the functional genetic diversity they detected by analyzing gene variations in fully sequenced genomes of 90 Eastern massasauga rattlesnakes correlated nicely with the neutral genetic diversity seen across broad sections of those same genomes containing no protein-coding genes—similar to the type of genetic material historically used to assess genetic diversity.
