The present invention relates to methods to control the spread of recombinant DNA molecules between sexually compatible plants of differing genetic composition. The invention describes the production of transgenic plants that comprise recombinant traits of interest or concern linked to repressible lethal genes. The lethal genes are blocked by the action of repressor molecules produced by the expression of repressor genes located at a different genetic locus. The lethal phenotype is only expressed after the segregation of the repressible lethal gene construct and the repressor gene following meiosis. The present invention may be employed for both open-pollinated and hybrid seed production systems and may be used to maintain genetic purity by blocking unintended introgression of genes from plants devoid of the specific repressor gene. The invention includes methods that impart traits that are desirable for environmentally responsible heterologous protein production, to genetic material used to impart said traits and to new plants and products derived by said methods.

Described herein are assays, kits and methods for treating mood disorders by testing for one or more polymorphisms in a specific group of genes and for analyzing the results of polymorphism testing; the genes included may converge in one or more signaling pathways, and may be epigenetic.

Apparatus and methods are devised and provided to receive genetic material from a human test subject and further to characterize that genetic material into an electronic representation of a genome. In particular, with respect to many genetic features which relate to diet, nutrition and exercise with a view to weight control. Based upon the presence of certain genetic features, genetic markers or polymorphisms, a rules based logic path is executed to arrive at a action plan set of recommendations. These recommendations relate to lifestyle actions which may be taken up by a person and these actions thus relate to that person's particular genetic composition. These apparatus and methods produce an easy-to-consume visual presentation describing genetic based traits and conditions, the personal status of a test subject as it relates to these genetic dependent traits and conditions, and possible lifestyle actions which may be performed by the user.

The invention provides a new insect genetical population simulating method based on natural reproduction process. In the method, a primary sample sequence marked by an insect parent molecule is utilized as the genetic composition of a parent, number vectors consisting of 1 and 0 are used for representing the genetic markers of chromosomes and gametes, and the genetic distance between the genetic markers is converted into recombination frequency by a mapping function. When F1 half-bred by two parents generates a gamete, the exchange process of reduction division is simulated by simple samplings which are uniformly and randomly distributed; and individual inspect is simulated by repeated gamete sampling and zygote forming, so that a genetic group is formed. The method can be used for the exploration and the evaluation on an insect gene mapping method, and the dynamic change of the insect resistance genes in generations can be researched through the genetic markers, without years of multipoint practical field tests, so that the efficiency of genetic research is improved greatly. The new insect genetical population simulating method is applied to crop production and pest prevention management and has very good positive results.
