genetic relationship

After establishing a genetic relationship between the two individuals, the team looked at all possible connections, such as brothers, half-siblings, grandfather and grandson, as well as uncle and nephew.

Because of the close genetic relationship between tomatoes and potatoes, the team around Underwood believes that the system described in this study can be easily adapted for use in potato, the world's fifth most valuable crop plant, and potentially other crop species.

The U.K.'s Biobank database enabled Zhang and Long to assess the genetic relationship between reproduction and lifespan at the genomic scale.

The researchers also identified a genetic relationship between lice in Asia and Central America.

Despite these adaptive differences, their close genetic relationship allowed for episodes of ongoing hybridisation, creating even more genetic combinations.
