Info:
From the Pest and Disease Vector Group, Department of Genetics, the University of Melbourne Australia. The researchers developed a new bioinformatics tool for the ddRAD technique. Used for characterizing SNPs in field-sampled mosquitos, the study advances understanding of population genetics for the purpose of devising better disease control measures. Pippin Prep was used for size selection for the ddRAD-seq.
