DEPARTMENT OF
ENTOMOLOGY
Molecular Biology and Population Genetics
ABOUT:
Molecular techniques have become a standard tool in most entomological disciplines. Our faculty are using current molecular biology techniques to understand biological, molecular, and physiological differences between insect populations.
