Unraveling Mendel’s final mysteries: A genomic retelling of pea genetics
Using modern genomic tools, Feng et al. revisited Mendel’s seven pea traits in a recent Nature study, uncovering the molecular genetic basis of all of them, including the three unresolved ones: pod color, pod shape, and flower position. Their work highlights the level of complexity provided by structural variation that could impact genes and their regulatory regions and thus influence the expression of plant traits. The authors demonstrate how revisiting foundational experiments with contemporary tools can manifest novel biological insights and also guide future crop improvement.
期刊介绍:
Cells is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal that focuses on cell biology, molecular biology, and biophysics. It is affiliated with several societies, including the Spanish Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (SEBBM), Nordic Autophagy Society (NAS), Spanish Society of Hematology and Hemotherapy (SEHH), and Society for Regenerative Medicine (Russian Federation) (RPO).
The journal publishes research findings of significant importance in various areas of experimental biology, such as cell biology, molecular biology, neuroscience, immunology, virology, microbiology, cancer, human genetics, systems biology, signaling, and disease mechanisms and therapeutics. The primary criterion for considering papers is whether the results contribute to significant conceptual advances or raise thought-provoking questions and hypotheses related to interesting and important biological inquiries.
In addition to primary research articles presented in four formats, Cells also features review and opinion articles in its "leading edge" section, discussing recent research advancements and topics of interest to its wide readership.
