The little worm that could (escape light): a single nerve cell helps C. elegans escape harmful UV exposure
It’s hard to imagine, but the tiny, translucent roundworm called C. elegans has approximately 20,470 protein-coding genes—about the same number as humans. This is perhaps one of the many reasons why this common worm was the first multicellular organism to have its genome completely sequenced during the Human Genome Project in 1998. Studying C. elegans…

Why one worm species beats the heat better than another one
A new study in GENETICS investigates the role of heat shock regulators and chaperones.

Unlocking understanding in undergraduate evolution education
Teaching is an integral part of many of our jobs as academics, so collaborating with like-minded scientists and scholars to think about how best to present biological concepts to students can be a valuable and rewarding experience. More critically, the way we teach evolution in undergraduate courses, particularly how we address student misconceptions or address…

Same field, different environment: New study deciphers why maize plants flower at different times–and why it matters
A new international study in G3: Genes|Genomes|Genetics peeled back the husk of maize, revealing a hidden layer of genetic variation that explains why maize grown side by side perceive the same environment differently, and why this matters for future breeding strategies.

Mapping the mouse seminal vesicle: A single-cell atlas suggests a new role for seminal fluid
The first single-cell atlas of the mouse seminal vesicle published in G3: Genes|Genomes|Genetics links immune signaling to potential paternal effects on reproduction.

Reproducibility for everyone: Breaking down barriers to better science
Reproducibility is the backbone of credible science. But for many researchers, especially early in their careers, putting reproducibility into practice can feel overwhelming. With a sea of tools and resources available, where do you even start? That’s where Reproducibility for Everyone (R4E) comes in. Hands-on, research-ready reproducibility training R4E is a global, grassroots initiative on…

An advanced new machine-learning model can find genes connected to autism spectrum disorder
New work published in GENETICS shows us how new genes can be found faster and with less data than ever before.

Pin the tail on the mRNA: New insights into polyadenylation site location in yeast
Research published in GENETICS sheds light on the functional significance of polyadenylation site locations in the 3′UTRs of yeast mRNAs.
