Scientists identify DNA that regulates antibody production [PhysOrg.com - 11/20/2009]

"The wonderful diversity that we see in maize today is the product of many things," Ware explains. "Several million years ago, the genome of the maize effectively doubled in size, to 20 chromosomes, and then, subsequently, returned to its current size of 10 chromosomes. In the detailed sequence that we now have obtained, we can begin to study the impact of that 'doubling event.'"
