Founded in 2013, Cross Genetics is one of the few Latin-owned dispensary outfits in town, with stores in south Denver and Park Hill. The city’s cannabis space and the faces within it have changed a ...

Pure lines derived from multiple parents are becoming more important because of the increased genetic diversity, the possibility to conduct replicated phenotyping trials in multiple environments and ...

It is often difficult to advocate for the importance of gene inheritance and transmission. After all, why should anyone care about Mendelian genetics? Mendel did excellent work, but his research was ...

Nearly 2,000 gene banks around the world hold the genetic resources of plants, from seed to stem and more, sampled from all crops — even those that were never cultivated or haven’t grown in a century.

Developed for an introductory genetics course at Duke University, the Genetics and Evolution app is a nice educational resource for new students of the subject. The app is composed of four sections.

Diverse communities of plants and animals typically perform better than monocultures. However, the mechanisms that are responsible for this have so far been a mystery to science. Biologists have now ...

Scientists provide evidence of direct cross-regulatory feedback, or cross-talk, between Nanog and Hox genes. Competing regulatory genes "talk" to each other to maintain balance of cell state, ...

Collectively, populations of Acanthocyclops vernalis, a species complex of freshwater copepods, are remarkably similar as to morphology and DNA content, despite variability in chromosome number.

Heterosis and its relation to genetic divergence between the parents was explored in a diallel cross among 8 inbred lines of maize (Zea mays L.) selected from an array of 32 inbreds, derived from 4 ...

Describe the basic principle of mitosis (why do cells undergo mitosis?). Diagram how an exact replica of the genetic material is made, including the numbers of chromosomes present at each phase of ...
