Summer is almost here, and with it comes the end of the school year. Soon, there will be teens with unlimited spare time on their hands. Many of those teens whose parents would really like for them to find something to do besides watch TV and play computer games. Do you have a teen (or […]
Target has announced a new partnership with North Alabama’s historic Bridgeforth Farms, as part of an effort to make its supply base more inclusive and sustainable. The Bridgeforth family began farming after freedman George Bridgeforth Sr. acquired land in Limestone County immediately after the Civil War. Five generations later, the Bridgeforth family has not only […]
There’s nothing quite like a pandemic to shake up the best laid research plans. In late 2018, researchers at the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology, in collaboration with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) were awarded a $3.9 million grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to study nitrogen efficiency in sorghum. Sorghum is a grain with […]
The HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology is the epicenter of ground-breaking work in biotechnology and genomics. In keeping with that image, it hosted a rather unique ground-breaking ceremony for the expansion of its campus. Not only was it masked and socially distant, but it also took place inside the Propst Center with the participants each donning […]
Several research groups at HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology are passionate about producing crops that can be used as fuel to create clean and sustainable energy for our planet. And now, with the help of a newly awarded Department of Energy grant, they can move one step closer to this goal. The grant is part of a DOE project […]
Plant genomics researchers at HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology announce the surprising results of a cotton sequencing study led by Dr. Jane Grimwood and Jeremy Schmutz, who co-direct the HudsonAlpha Genome Sequencing Center. The goal of the project was to identify differences among wild and domesticated cotton that could be used to bring back traits like […]
Is there anything more Huntsville than the combination of cotton and technology? To that end, researchers at the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology have set out to make a better cotton through a series of research collaborations, grants and projects. These grants include sequencing “elite” cotton strains, sending cotton to space and conversations between students and […]
Envision Huntsville as an average size pie. Standing at city center, look outward in all directions toward the far edges of the pie crust – north toward the state line where visitors from Tennessee get their first glimpse of the city. South where many Huntsville businesses draw daily commuters. East across the mountain, west from […]
WASHINGTON – Along with research, education is a key element of the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology’s mission. So, officials with the Huntsville-based center went on a mission to Capitol Hill last month and presented “Genomics in Agriculture 101: Exploring the Basics” in the Rayburn House Office Building. It was the third time HudsonAlpha held a […]
MADISON — In 1850, the population of rural Madison was less than 500 residents. Alabama farmers were producing nearly 565,000 bales of cotton and nearly 29 million bushels of corn a year. John Henry Clift bought a small piece of rural farmland in what was then called Madison Station. Since then, six generations of the […]
