Sequencing a genome helps scientists better understand genomes and their role in creating organisms. When scientists sequence a genome, they take an organisms DNA and determine the order of its base pairs, which are coded by the letters A, C, T and G. These lettered pairs comprise the rungs of the ladder-like DNA double helix, which serves as an organisms unique genetic blueprint.</p> June 25, 2019 - 4:18pm Anonymous /curiosity-gap/how-do-scientists-assemble-genome Downy Mildew Research to Benefit Lettuce Growers and Consumers /news/downy-mildew-research-benefit-lettuce-growers-and-consumers <p>Researchers at the University of California, Davis, will use the genomics of lettuce to combat a pathogen that causes losses in the $3 billion industry each year.</p> <p>The Foundation of Food and Agriculture Research, or FFAR,&nbsp;awarded Richard Michelmore, professor and director of the 51勛圖窪蹋 Davis Genome Center, the first research grant through the Crops of the Future Collaborative.</p> <p>51勛圖窪蹋 Davis will receive $2.5 million from FFAR and matching funds from the Crops of the Future Leafy Greens Participants for a total of $5 million.</p> October 10, 2018 - 3:27pm Amy M Quinton /news/downy-mildew-research-benefit-lettuce-growers-and-consumers
