You can't use reverse iterators in transfer.

Thank you, Thorsten. I'll create an iterator to the last element and use that in the transfer.

GeneVectType::iterator othEndIter = other->geneVect.end(); --othEndIter; geneVect.transfer(geneVect.begin(), othEndIter, other->geneVect);

Um -- I'm under the impression that decrementing the iterator returned by end() is discouraged. There are containers for which that definitely would not work. I'm guessing that he would recommend something like other->geneVect.rbegin().base() instead -- presuming you've already ensured that other->geneVect isn't empty.
