Research at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory is a collaborative effort and has global impact. It is enriched by interactions fostered through approximately 20 scientific meetings hosted at the Lab each year, which together draw more than 7,000 scientists from around the world. Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory scientists also work with researchers at other laboratories and universities, and collaborate with their counterparts in the biotech and pharmaceutical industries in a quest to translate advances in basic research into applications that are life-saving and life-enriching. Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory provides a rich environment young scientists interested in doing research as graduate students or postdoctoral fellows.

Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory is also involved in genome research. Recently the Lab entered into a global collaboration to map and sequence the entire genome of a flowering plant for the first time ever (see Harbor Transcript article).

Another major effort is to understand molecular aspects of plant developmental genetics and genomics. The plant group at CSH is expanding upon the Nobel prize-winning work done here by Barbara McClintock in the 1940s, 50s and 60s; the transposable genetic elements, or "jumping genes," that she discovered are the basis for much of plant genetics research today.
