Genetic diversity refers to the total number of genetic characteristics in the genetic makeup of a species.

The goals of the Convention on Biological Diversity are the conservation of biological diversity, the sustainable use of the components of biological diversity, and the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the use of genetic resources.

One thing that I think is a very surprising and strange thing is just how low the genetic diversity of sharks are.

Many Parties highlighted the importance of preserving genetic resources and biological diversity, exploring drought tolerant ecotypes and establishing migration corridors for species.

Mr. Markus Lehmann, Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) stressed that, under the CBD, access to genetic resources can be granted in exchange for access to, and transfer of, technology that makes use of those genetic resources.

134. Recognizes the abundance and diversity of marine genetic resources and their value in terms of benefits, goods and services they can provide

Therefore the plan of retaining a target of 90 genetic diversity over the next century is not possible unless other founders are added.

Reaffirming that the Convention on Biological Diversity is the key international instrument for the conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity and the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the use of genetic resources,

And it's thought maybe it was a bottleneck, a genetic bottleneck thought to be 12,000 years ago, and this has caused a very low diversity.

Pollinators participate in sexual reproduction of many plants, by ensuring cross pollination, essential for some species, or a major factor in ensuring genetic diversity for others.

The seed vault is managed under terms spelled out in a tripartite agreement between the Norwegian government, the Global Crop Diversity Trust (GCDT) and the Nordic Genetic Resource Center (NordGen).

Thus, genetic selection will inevitably move towards genetic enhancement.

It appears that Kodiak bears have been genetically isolated since at least the last ice age (10,000 to 12,000 years ago) and there is very little genetic diversity within the population.

In February 2004, the seventh Convention on Biological Diversity Conference of the Parties (CBD COP 7) agreed to commence negotiations on an international regime on access to genetic resources and benefit sharing whose scope would include genetic resources as well as traditional knowledge, innovations and practices (TK) (decision VII 19).

Action to promote the fair and equitable sharing of benefits from the utilization of forest genetic resources has generally been taken within the framework of guidelines under the Convention on Biological Diversity.

In harmony with the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Treaty sought to ensure the fair and equitable sharing of benefits derived from the use of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture.

Genetic hypertension Dopamine receptor mutations can cause genetic hypertension in humans.

Several Parties referred to the need for protection of forest areas, through targeting forests under stress, forest expansion, for example through development of appropriate plantations, and the preservation of genetic resources and biological diversity.

Even without speciation, the same outcome could occur through a loss of genetic diversity If everyone selected the same traits for their offspring, their descendants would be incapable of surviving a sudden, unexpected environmental challenge.

It is distinguished from genetic variability, which describes the tendency of genetic characteristics to vary.

India is a good place to do such an experiment in, because we have all the ethnic diversities, all the you know, the genetic diversity, all the racial diversities, and also all the socio economic diversities.

Reiterating that the Convention on Biological Diversity is the key international instrument for the conservation and sustainable use of biological resources and the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the use of genetic resources,

Tempering the Genetic Revolution

Some depression appears to be genetic, in which case genetic therapy may ultimately offer a solution.

Since all these functions are affected by genetic research, genetic testing has emerged as an important issue.

The old idea that certain human beings were superior to others because of the colour of their skin, their spiritual practices or their genetic disposition, was today hiding behind the profound irrefutability of cultural, ethnic or religious diversity.

We applied the genetic algorithm.

Genetic Property Rights on Trial

Genetic engineering can also be used to remove genetic material from the target organism, creating a gene knockout organism.

The Mixed Blessing of Genetic Choice

These factors are often considered genetic.

This causes several serious genetic diseases.

The Nova Scotia Public Service Commission has established the Diversity Talent Pool, the Diversity Accommodation Fund, and the Diversity Round Table.

These chains then progress and attach to the genetic material and pull the genetic material from one cell into two cells.

Cloning and stem cell research, although not considered genetic engineering, are closely related and genetic engineering can be used within them.

I'll be very short on genetic algorithms.

Deletion is the loss of genetic material.

International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology

Acknowledging the contribution that the ongoing work of the Intergovernmental Committee on Intellectual Property and Genetic Resources, Traditional Knowledge and Folklore, of the World Intellectual Property Organization, can make in enhancing the effective implementation of the provisions of the Convention on Biological Diversity,

Numerous common genetic variants with small effects on blood pressure have been identified as well as some rare genetic variants with large effects on blood pressure but the genetic basis of hypertension is still poorly understood.

(d) Genetic resources beyond areas of national jurisdiction

These genetic clones had a few crucial differences.

But recent genetic research unequivocally refutes this worldview.

In Europe genetic modification is synonymous with genetic engineering while within the United States of America it can also refer to conventional breeding methods.
