Genetics is fiendishly complex. We know this from decades of molecular biology, from the resulting studies on the sequencing and analysis of genomes and from our increasing knowledge of how genes ...

That's what a team of scientists in the Czech Republic did this year to celebrate Gregor Mendel, a scientist and friar whose experiments in the mid-1800s laid the groundwork for modern genetics.

The iconic pea plant experiments of Gregor Mendel laid the foundations for the science of genetics. Now 160 years on, an international research collaboration has used genomics, bioinformatics and ...
