Science & PublishingThe 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…

Science & PublishingSame 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.
