During these decades, a tradition of merging the structural, biochemical and informational approaches to the central problems of classical genetics became more apparent.

A key discovery of classical genetics in eukaryotes was genetic linkage.

The union of traditional Darwinian evolution with subsequent discoveries in classical and molecular genetics is termed the modern evolutionary synthesis.

Use has been made of both classical genetics and molecular genetics.

Additionally a classical genetics approach takes significantly longer.

This investigative process proceeds in the opposite direction of so-called forward genetic screens of classical genetics.

In classical genetics, synteny describes the physical co-localization of genetic loci on the same chromosome within an individual or species.

In classical genetics the scientist starts with a phenotype of interest and searches for the gene that causes this phenotype.

This summer school contributed to keeping classical genetics alive during the period of Lysenkoism, which officially ended in 1964.
