5 days ago · Classical Genetics, the study of patterns of inheritance, began with the rediscovery of Mendel's work in 1900 and flourished through the first half of the century.
2 days ago · Gregor Mendel, a Moravian Augustinian friar working in the 19th century in Brno, was the first to study genetics scientifically. Mendel studied "trait inheritance", patterns in the way traits are handed down from parents to offspring over time.
1 day ago · This video delves into the fascinating history and discoveries in genetics, from Gregor Mendel's study of inherited traits to Watson and Crick's identification of DNA's double helix structure. It explains the components of DNA, such as the sugar-phosphate backbone and four bases (adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine), and their crucial role in storing genetic information.
5 days ago · Rosalind Franklin (born July 25, 1920, London, England—died April 16, 1958, London) was a British scientist best known for her contributions to the discovery of the molecular structure of deoxyribonucleic acid ( DNA ), a constituent of chromosomes that serves to encode genetic information.

1 day ago · The history starts with Gregor Mendel and his peas in the 19th century and proceeds through the discovery of DNA in the 20th century and concludes with a discussion of epigenetics today. Mr. Kean (he does not have a PhD) is a writer and neither a professor nor a researcher. He communicates well (as one would expect for a writer) including ...
1 day ago · Dr. James R. Lupski receiving the Gilded Pea Award in Berlin, ESHG 2024. Video courtesy of Dr. Ambrin Fatima. In the last 42 years, Dr. James R. Lupski has delivered more than 620 lectures in 37 countries, but none was received with nearly the same enthusiasm as his Mendel lecture this past June in Berlin. “Never before have I received a ...

3 days ago · The chemical DNA was discovered in 1869, but its role in genetic inheritance was not demonstrated until 1943. The DNA segments that carry this genetic information are called genes. Other DNA sequences have structural purposes, or are involved in regulating the use of this genetic information.
