University of Georgia researcher Kaixiong Ye has received a Maximizing Investigators Research Award from the National Institutes of Health.

Megan Meany, a Ph.D. candidate in genetics, is investigating the genetic mechanisms underlying sex determination and gonad differentiation in the brown anole lizard Anolis sagrei.

The newly assembled genomes of 26 different genetic lines of corn illustrate the crop’s rich genetic diversity and lay the groundwork for a better understanding of what genetic mechanisms account for crop traits prized by farmers.

A new study from the University of Georgia sheds light on how plants respond to stressful environmental conditions presented by climate change.

The project, led by Alexandre Marand, isolated thousands of individual cells to determine the regulatory DNA—the parts of DNA that control the genes that are important in different types of cells.
