Chapter One relates the history of maize genome sequencing projects, highlighting the competition between researchers in the U.S. and Mexico, then explaining how they combined to hone an “intimate knowledge” of the species. I introduce the lab space of LANGEBIO and the races of maize growing there, but also the mechanics of plant science generally.
