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 ...

In this episode, we’ll learn about Gregor Mendel, who used pea plants to study genetics. All of the different plants on Earth—from mango trees to marigolds—have come about thanks to the simple rules ...

All of the different plants on Earth—from mango trees to marigolds—have come about thanks to the simple rules of genetic inheritance, which determine how traits are passed on from one generation to ...

Soon after the rediscovery of Mendel's work, several scientists noted traits in their crosses seemed “coupled.” But this deviated from Mendel's principles, so how did they explain this?

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 ...
