Larry Sandler
Laurence Marvin Sandler (1929–1987) was a "leading ''Drosophila'' geneticist",Dan Lindsley"Larry Sandler: Personal Recollections"''Genetics'' 151: 1233–1237 (April 1999) active during the mid-20th century. Sandler is best known for his work establishing and elucidating the phenomenon of meiotic drive. (Meiotic drive is when one copy of a gene is passed on to offspring more than the expected 50% of the time.) Sandler earned a B.S. at Cornell University and did his doctoral work with Ed Novitski at the University of Missouri, where he collaborated with Gerry Braver.Dan Lindsley"Larry Sandler: The Father of Meiotic Drive" ''The American Naturalist'', Vol. 137, No. 3, pp.283-286 (March 1991). Braver and Sandler discovered that meiotic chromosomal loss was one driver of allelic variation in natural populations, (Sandler & Braver 1954.) a phenomenon coined "meiotic drive" in a follow-up paper by Sandler and Novitski. (Sandler & Novitski 1957.) Sandler also collaborated with Iris ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Drosophila
''Drosophila'' () is a genus of flies, belonging to the family Drosophilidae, whose members are often called "small fruit flies" or (less frequently) pomace flies, vinegar flies, or wine flies, a reference to the characteristic of many species to linger around overripe or rotting fruit. They should not be confused with the Tephritidae, a related family, which are also called fruit flies (sometimes referred to as "true fruit flies"); tephritids feed primarily on unripe or ripe fruit, with many species being regarded as destructive agricultural pests, especially the Mediterranean fruit fly. One species of ''Drosophila'' in particular, '' D. melanogaster'', has been heavily used in research in genetics and is a common model organism in developmental biology. The terms "fruit fly" and "''Drosophila''" are often used synonymously with ''D. melanogaster'' in modern biological literature. The entire genus, however, contains more than 1,500 species and is very diverse in appea ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Annual Review Of Genetics
The ''Annual Review of Genetics'' is an annual peer-reviewed scientific review journal published by Annual Reviews. It was established in 1967 and covers all topics related to the genetics of viruses, bacteria, fungi, plants, and animals, including humans. The current editor is Tatjana Piotrowski. As of 2021, ''Journal Citation Reports'' gives the journal a 2020 impact factor of 16.830, ranking it fourth out of 175 journals in the category "Genetics & Heredity". History In 1965, the nonprofit publisher Annual Reviews surveyed geneticists to determine if there was a need for an annual journal that published review articles about recent developments in the field of genetics. Responses to the survey were favorable, with the first volume of the ''Annual Review of Genetics'' published two years later in 1967. Its inaugural editor was Herschel L. Roman. As of 2020, it was published both in print and electronically. It defines its scope as covering various aspects of genetics, includin ...

Glenn Yasuda
Berkeley Bowl is an independent grocery store in Berkeley, California. Founded by Glenn and Diane Yasuda, it sells organic and natural products and is known for its extensive produce section. In 2008, the ''Los Angeles Times'' wrote that it was " erkeleys most popular grocery store" and "one of the nation's most renowned retailers of exotic fruits and vegetables." It has two locations in the city. The business name is a reference to the former bowling alley that became the store's first location. History In 1977, Glenn and Diane Yasuda opened a small neighborhood market in a converted building that formerly housed a bowling alley at 2777 Shattuck Avenue. By the late 1990s, it had outgrown the building, and in 1999 moved to a renovated Safeway at 2020 Oregon Street. Labor organizers pushed to unionize the store's 250 employees in 2003, but after a series of disputes, the National Labor Relations Board The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is an independent agency of the ...
