FeaturedSame 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.

FeaturedReproducibility 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…

FeaturedLost in translation: Mistranslated tRNA variants show sex-specific effects in Drosophila
A Drosophila model of protein mistranslation reveals the effects of serine to valine (V→S) and serine to threonine (T→S) substitutions on development, survival, and longevity where not all effects are detrimental to flies.
