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 ...

Scientists says they've mapped the DNA sequences of avocado - meaning future fruit can be modified to survive climate change. Once scientists say they've cracked the genetic code of avocado, they can ...

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 ...

"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 ...

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 ...

Ubiquitin marks proteins for degradation, whereby ubiquitin molecules can be combined in different types and numbers forming different chains. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry ...
