Genetics Unzipped podcast: Darwin vs Mendel

Posted by Kat Arney, on 8 May 2019

In this episode of Genetics Unzipped we ask, what would have happened if Darwin had read Mendel? And what if they’d been on Twitter? Professor Greg Radick, a historian of genetics at the University of Leeds, has a few ideas. Plus, something else that Darwin would have loved – an ambitious project to sequence the DNA of everything across the tree of life from the team at the Wellcome Sanger Institute.
