A collaborative research team has developed a plant gene drive system called CRISPR-Assisted Inheritance utilizing NPG1 (CAIN), which, according to the researchers, uses a toxin-antidote mechanism in ...

The iconic pea plant experiments of Gregor Mendel laid the foundations for the science of genetics. Now 160 years on, an international research collaboration has used genomics, bioinformatics and ...

Discover how Gregor Mendel uncovered the basic rules of heredity through his pea plant experiments. Learn how traits are passed from parents to offspring and how dominant and recessive alleles shape ...

Gregor Mendel’s pea-plant experiments are the foundation most genetics textbooks still open with: cross a tall plant with a short one, count the ratios in the next generations, and watch the numbers ...

Researchers at Johns Hopkins University and Texas A&M University have documented at least 522 autosomal sites where DNA methylation patterns pass from parent to offspring without following Mendel’s ...
