MaizeCODE is a genomic project analyzing the genetic basis of maize domestication. Researchers identified key regulatory ...

CSHL Professors Thomas Gingeras and Rob Martienssen have launched a new genomic encyclopedia called MaizeCODE. Their latest study uses MaizeCODE data to help explain how corn became domesticated 9,000 ...

Corn (or maize) was first cultivated by humans about ... Cretors adapted a steam-powered peanut roasting machine he had designed into a popcorn machine (which he patented in 1893).
