Corn’s ancient ancestors are calling

Jen A. Miller — Thu, 06 Feb 2025 12:30:17 +0000

AI generated voice with Rob Martienssen’s and Thomas Gingeras’s actual voices The domestication of maize is one of the greatest examples of humankind’s impact on evolution. Early farmers’ pre-industrial plant breeding choices turned corn from a nearly inedible crop into the major global food source it is today. Now, ��ϳԹ��Դ Professors Rob...

CSHL’s Thomas Gingeras awarded $2 million NSF grant

Nick Wurm — Wed, 03 Apr 2024 11:30:15 +0000

Climate change threatens crops across the globe. But the problem goes far beyond rising temperatures. One major cause for concern is more acidic soil, a product of increasing rainfall. This can result in aluminum toxicity, putting further stress on global agriculture. A new project at ��ϳԹ��Դ (CSHL) seeks to find solutions at...

Image: © ktsdesign – stock.adobe.com" data-description="" />Life on Earth comes in a beautiful assortment of different shapes, sizes, and colors, thanks to genetic mutations. Some mutations are beneficial, some are perilous, and some don’t do much of anything. Every person has around 4.5 million genetic variations. But are those variants helpful or hurtful? Geneticists have been trying to find the answer...

Base Pairs Episode 9.5: Redefining biologists, redefining genes

Public Affairs Administrator — Tue, 16 May 2017 15:34:36 +0000

Base Pairs podcast - Set aside your notions of how biologists are born, or what the word “gene” means as you listen to our first chat episode. We talk with Assistant Professor Molly Hammell, a genome biologist who started out as an astrophysicist. She tells us what it’s like to peer deep into space using a high-tech telescope. We also speak with Professor Tom Gingeras about whether it’s time to redefine the gene.

In massive genome analysis ENCODE data suggests ‘gene’ redefinition

Communications Department — Fri, 31 Aug 2012 19:54:45 +0000

Cold Spring Harbor, NY — Most people understand genes to be specific segments of DNA that determine traits or diseases that are inherited. Textbooks suggest that genes are copied (“transcribed”) into RNA molecules, which are then used as templates for making protein—the highly diverse set of molecules that act as building blocks and engines of...
