Sunday, July 22, 2012 - 14:30 in Biology & Nature

A new technique will allow plant breeders to introduce valuable crop traits even without access to the full genome sequence of that crop. The technique links important agronomic traits in crop plants with active regions of the genome. Instead of requiring knowledge of the crop's complete genome, it identifies only expressed genes.
