What marsupials can do for genetics and what genetics can do for marsupials

Abstract

There are good reasons to know something about the genetics of marsupials, both from the point of view of genetics, and from the point of view of marsupials. Marsupials represent an independent group of mammals, so they provide a new and rich source of variation that we can use to figure out general principles such as how genes are arranged into a genome, how the genes function, and how they evolved Show more
