The Arabidopsis knockout facility at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

As of this writing the Arabidopsis genome is 97% sequenced with only small portions of the highly repetitive regions within centromeres and telomeres remaining. The identification of approximately 25,000 plant genes will give plant biologists an opportunity to identify and understand the function of the proteins they encode. One exciting tool that will aid in this endeavor is the use of inserti...

Development of molecular biology at the University of Wisconsin, Madison.

Dramatic changes in the foundation of academic departments in our universities are uncommon. With the demonstration that DNA was the cellular source of genetic information, and that this information could be regulated, the field of molecular biology was born. Later, when scientists found that they could tinker with this information, the field matured. In an unusually rapid manner, molecular bio...
