Maize as we know it looks very different from its wild ancestor. The ancient cob is less than a 10th of the size of modern corn cobs, at about 2cm (0.8inch) long.

The “jumping genes” of maize have finally been mapped by an international team led by researchers at the University of California, Davis, and the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. The discovery could ...

Three new studies report large-scale resequencing and comparative genomic analysis of diverse maize varieties. The authors conducted a comprehensive characterization of sequence variation in maize ...

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) often turn up a long list of genes that MIGHT help cause the trait of interest. Many algorithms can help scientists prioritize which genes to pursue further ...

Maize is one of the world’s most widely grown crops. It is used for both human and animal foods and holds great cultural significance, especially for Indigenous peoples in the Americas. Yet despite ...

The first genome-wide association study (GWAS) came on the scene in March 2005. [1] Over the next 3+ years, GWAS was used to identify associations between more than 150 genetic loci related to ...
