For more than a century, heredity has been framed through the tidy logic of Mendel’s pea plants: traits pass from parent to offspring by fixed genetic rules. But a new mouse study suggests that ...

A collaborative research team has developed a plant gene drive system called CRISPR-Assisted Inheritance utilizing NPG1 (CAIN), which, according to the researchers, uses a toxin-antidote mechanism in ...

Gregor Johann Mendel’s experiments on pea plants in the mid-19th century established the fundamental principles of heredity by demonstrating that traits are transmitted as discrete “units” rather than ...
