Chris Mason on integrating art, law, and humanity through metagenomics of the earth and beyond
Chris Mason, Associate Professor at Weill Cornell Medicine, talks about revolutionizing academic research by setting a 500-year survival plan, harnessing the power of citizen scientists, crowdfunding, and creatively using genetics expertise across disciplines. In the Decoding Life series, we talk to geneticists with diverse career paths, tracing the many directions possible after research training. This series is…

Fecal alchemy: Turning poop into genomics gold
When it comes to genotyping technology, poop genetics is stuck in the 1990s. While most geneticists are now awash in genome-scale data from thousands of individuals, those who depend on fecal and other non-invasively collected samples still rely on old-school, boutique panels of a dozen or so genetic markers. But feces — along with fur,…

Cracking the pear genome: how students helped unlock a new tool for the pear industry
Pears are big business in the United States’ Pacific Northwest. But did you know that traditional pear breeding has remained largely unchanged for centuries? This slow process is difficult and costly, requiring the long-term commitment of labor, materials, and land-space resources. However, traditional pear breeding might get some help from genomics, thanks to a unique…
