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 ...

Gregor Johann Mendel’s experiments on pea plants in the mid-19th century established the fundamental principles of heredity by demonstrating that traits are transmitted as discrete “units” rather than ...

The study focused on so-called coding genetic variants, i.e. variants that are known to change the protein product of the gene. The results of the study, published in Nature on January 18, 2023, ...

Scientists have long known that the DNA code in genes is not the only way to pass genetic traits from parents to offspring. “Epigenetic” marks — chemical modifications to DNA that don’t change the DNA ...

For more than a century, heredity has been framed through the tidy logic of Mendel’s pea plants: traits pass from parent to offspring by fixed genetic rules. But a new mouse study suggests that ...

The history of science is full of tales of unappreciated genius. Indeed, the founder of modern genetics was not fully appreciated for his ideas until decades after his death. His name was Gregor ...

The year 2022 was the 200th anniversary of the birth of Gregor Mendel. He's known as the father of genetics, so scientists exhumed Mendel's body... When the man known as "father of genetics" turns 200 ...
