Bananas are a staple for millions, yet their production is threatened by limited genetic diversity and breeding challenges. In a major advance, researchers analyzed over 2,700 triploid banana hybrids ...

"First published in Great Britain in 2015 by Profile Books Ltd"--Title-page verso. The story of the discovery and cracking of the genetic code, the thing that ultimately enables a spiraling molecule ...

Using a molecular technique known as the comet assay, researchers tracked oxidative DNA damage and repair in seeds stored for 2, 5, and 12 years under cold dry genebank conditions. Their findings ...

A recently released large-scale study has provided details on the genetics that underpin epilepsy, arguably one of the most common and most complex conditions in the neurological spectrum. The work, ...

Few fields are evolving as quickly as the field of genetics. Emily Wyatt found her calling in genetics while working in Miami University’s Killian Neurobiology Lab, where she studies a protein that is ...

The genetic code acts as life’s instruction manual, telling cells how to build proteins from DNA and RNA. Though it's a marvel of molecular precision, the path it took to evolve remains unclear. Fresh ...

In a special edition of GEN Live to wrap up 2025, we are thrilled to welcome special guest Matthew Cobb, PhD, author of a wonderful new biography of Francis Crick, PhD, entitled CRICK: A Mind in ...
