Scientists have unraveled the enigma of inheritance of coat color patterns in dogs. The researchers discovered that a genetic variant responsible for a very light coat in dogs and wolves originated ...

Study results regarding the clinical spectrum and inheritance pattern of GDF2 pathogenic variants suggest incomplete penetrance and/or variability of expressivity with a semi-dominant pattern of ...

Inheritance is the passing of traits from parents to offspring. Our modern understanding of inheritance comes from a set of principles proposed by Austrian monk and researcher Gregor Mendel in 1865.

Jaime Murillo, MD, explores genetic inheritance patterns of Lp(a) from childhood to adulthood, highlighting stability, factors affecting measurement, and awareness challenges among those in the health ...

It is often difficult to advocate for the importance of gene inheritance and transmission. After all, why should anyone care about Mendelian genetics? Mendel did excellent work, but his research was ...

Cystic fibrosis represents one of the most common inherited genetic disorders affecting people of European descent, touching the lives of approximately 30,000 individuals in the United States alone.

A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this ...

Experiments that showed a surprising persistence of sexiness in worms reveal how much we are still learning about the rules governing heritability, epigenetics and natural selection. Playing the ...
