Manipulating meiotic crossover control in wheat (MORGAN_J27DTP)

Updated: 14 October 2026 
Meiotic recombination generates the genetic diversity on which both evolution and crop breeding depend. In wheat and other cereals, crossovers are strongly biased towards certain regions of the genome, leaving vast stretches almost untouched. Read more

EastBio - How does cell size control cell fate? - studying cell fate specification in the developing nervous system

Updated: 14 October 2026 
We all have started as a single cell, the egg, yet our bodies consist of hundreds of different cell types. This raises the question of how this cell type diversity is established. Read more
