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 ...

The genetic code, a universal blueprint for life, governs how DNA and RNA sequences translate into proteins. While its complexity has inspired generations of scientists, its origins remain a topic of ...

Now, though, the genome is "anchored to a genetic map, ordering the traits like yield, plant height, resistance to drought and others," Wing said. "If you now have a trait for yield, you can go to the ...

Scientists have completed sequencing the highly complex genome of the maize plant and say the accomplishment could herald a second "green revolution" in more productive and nutritious cereal crops.

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, ...

British scientists have decoded the genetic sequence of wheat _ one of the world's oldest and most important crops _ a development they hope could help the global staple meet the challenges of climate ...

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 ...
