Malus niedzwetzkyana (but now Kazakhstan) during his 1897 expedition. Hansen began two breeding programs based on this unusual fruit, one aimed at developing a cold-hardy cooking and eating apple, and the other aimed at developing ornamental crabapples. His efforts resulted in the Almata apple and the Hopa crabapple, among other varieties. Some of these apples, as well as "M. niedzwetzkyana" itself, are being used for small-scale commercial production of rosé apple ciders. Malus niedzwetzkyana Malus niedzwetzkyana, or Niedzwetzky's apple, is a kind of apple native to certain parts of China, Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan noted for its red-fleshed, red-skinned fruit and
Genesee Scientific the world leader in innovation for and supply to the "Drosophila" (fruit fly) research community. "Drosophila" are widely used as a model organism in the field of genetics. Genesee Scientific has been awarded three patents by the United States Patent and Trademark Office for its revolutionary "Drosophila" vial racking system (patent numbers D673,296 S; 8,136,679 B2; and 8,430,251 B2). This "Drosophila" vial racking system significantly decreases time spent racking vials and is more environmentally friendly compared to traditional vial packaging configurations. Genesee Scientific has also developed the first atlas of "Drosophila" phenotypic markers available on mobile devices. Genesee the "Drosophila"
