In the mid-19th Century, an Augustinian friar called Gregor Mendel made a breakthrough. By breeding pea plants and observing how certain traits were passed on, Mendel realised there must be units ...

Humans are now known to have between 20,000 and 25,000 genes, but researchers still have much to learn about these small ...

Radick begins, as do most histories of modern genetics, in the 1850s, with the experiments of Gregor Mendel on peas in the garden of the monastery at Brünn (now Brno in the Czech Republic).

When Gregor Mendel published the results of his experiments on pea plants in 1866 he initiated a fierce debate about the nature of heredity and genetic determinism that continues today. The battle ...
