Can chocolate-dipped strawberries be improved upon-genetically? Separate teams of researchers have sequenced the genomes of varieties of the two crops that make up this treat, finding key coding information that could help keep these sweets on dessert trays-and assist science in the meantime. Both studies were served up online December 26 in Nature Genetics (Scientific American is part of Nature Publishing Group).
