The phrase "a source of genetic" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing origins or contributors to genetic material or diversity in a biological context.
Example: "The ancient forest serves as a source of genetic diversity for many plant species."
Alternatives: "a contributor to genetic" or "a reservoir of genetic".
Copy number variation (CNV) of DNA sequences is a source of genetic variation and has an important role in the genetics of complex disease.
Such entente is a far cry from the xenophobic bile of one of Japan's most popular politicians, Tokyo's governor, Shintaro Ishihara, who calls Chinese immigration a source of "genetic pollution".
The seeds are a source of genetic diversity critical as farmers look for plants to withstand climate change and develop new varieties better adapted for drought, temperature extremes, salinity and disease.
Mutations as a source of genetic variation.
Accordingly, at the moment of collection, the biobank could be no more precise than to state: a source of genetic data, containing the whole genome, has been collected.
Genetic analysis suggested that the translocated population might serve as a source of genetic variation for the original population, if depleted.
Natural diversity distributed across different geographical regions during the expansion of rice constitutes a source of genetic variability highly valuable for the breeding programs to generate new varieties that are adapted to local climate conditions.
In contrast to induced mutations, which often have an abnormal phenotype, QTL alleles are a source of genetic variation that is less likely to confer a penalty on agricultural productivity.
This possible association of genetic strain with slope suggested that the mutation rate of the strain (as a source of genetic variation) played a role in determining the slope of the mean-variance relationship.
The superior xylooligosaccharide kcat values for XylBH43 make this enzyme valuable both as a saccharification enzyme, and as a source of genetic diversity in on-going protein engineering efforts targeted at optimizing GH43 enzymes for biomass saccharification.
We recommend the following areas be explicitly addressed during teacher preparation (Catley et al. 2005; Freeman and Herron 2001; University of California - Berkeley 2012; Zimmer 2010): Mutations as a source of genetic variation Mechanisms of evolution - the various ways evolution occurs in nature, including natural selection, sexual selection, and genetic drift.
