What can Gregor Mendel’s pea plants tell us about human disease? Single gene disorders, like Huntington’s disease and cystic fibrosis, actually follow Mendelian inheritance patterns.

Gregor Mendel's principles of inheritance form the cornerstone of modern genetics. So just what are they? When looking at the figure, notice that for each F 1 plant, the self-fertilization ...

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 ...

A global team mapped pea genomic diversity, advancing breeding research, revisiting Mendel’s traits, and boosting sustainable ...

In one of the great triumphs of scientific experimentation, Austrian biologist and monk Johann Gregor Mendel ... in a particle we now call a gene (though Mendel never used that term himself).

Barbara McClintock’s pioneering work in genetics began just two decades after biologists rediscovered Gregor Mendel’s work on heredity in 1900. After refining chromosome-staining techniques, ...

Gregor Mendel discovered the basic principles of heredity through experiments with pea plants, long before the discovery of DNA and genes. Mendel was an Augustinian monk at St Thomas’s Abbey ...

During the summer of 1997, two research groups succeeded in bringing closure to a classic tale in genetics. After 131 years, they identified one of Mendel's pea genes at the molecular level. The gene, ...

A team of international scientists, mainly from China and the United Kingdom, has jointly identified the genetic variants behind all seven traits used by Austrian scientist Gregor Mendel ... genetic ...
