Important advances in the understanding of DNA topoisomerases are discussed in a new review led by John Innes Centre researchers

Former colleagues have fondly remembered the rich and varied achievements of Professor Jeffrey “Jeff” Davies, a leading figure in plant virology at the John Innes Centre for more than 20 years

A new genomic tool has been launched to help the global community of wheat rust researchers, enabling simultaneous interrogation of gene expression data for the notorious yellow rust pathogen and its wheat host

The image of Gregor Mendel as a man leading a life isolated from the rest of the world combining scientific experiments with monastic duties needs to be revised according to new evidence which has been uncovered by Peter van Dijk and Noel Ellis
