The nature and reality of the aphid clone: genetic variation, adaptation and evolution

2008-05-01

Abstract excerpt

1 When aphid clones and clonality are discussed, it is still often said that they are 'genetically identical', a statement for which there is no direct evidence, and certainly not for the entire genome. By contrast, there is a growing body of empirical data from the application of high resolution molecular (DNA) markers that aphid asexual lineages rapidly mutate and that, in some documented cases, this variation i...
