They fly after all – two papers reporting genome scan analyses using microsatellite markers located within or close to physiologically important genes (=PIGs) have been now published on the pages of Molecular Biology and Evolution (IF = 9.87).

One Comment
Dear Prof. Juha
The two papers have located physiologically important genes using microsatellite markers. It is interesting findings.
