Molecular biology research is active in areas such as the development of systems for expressing genesin mammalian cells and genetic fingerprinting which has been carried out on birds. Work on mobilegenetic elements in bacteria is also in progress. Collaboration with ecologists in the Department has also taken place to look for evidence of genetic variation through genetic fingerprinting of spider populations from the west coast and the mainland. This emerging field of molecular ecology is an exciting development that holds much promise for the future.
