Hartl has made seminal contributions to experimental evolutionary genetics. He demonstrated that protein polymorphism is effectively neutral, that genome size is determined by the deletion rate of nonessential DNA, and his discovery of transposon mariner has made it possible to conduct germline transformation for distantly related organisms. |
