The COVID-19 pandemic gave us tremendous perspective on how wildly symptoms and outcomes can vary between patients ...

DNA is the chemical that codes for proteins which determine our physical traits. This molecule is a double coil connected by cross pieces (called bases). There are four bases that can vary in sequence ...

In Mendelian inheritance patterns, you receive one version of a gene, called an allele, from each parent. These alleles can be dominant or recessive. Non-Mendelian genetics don’t completely follow ...

Using single-cell epigenomic profiling of immune cells from 110 individuals, researchers show that genetic variation and ...

In 2015, biologists developed a breakthrough technology known as "active genetics," which results in parents transmitting a genetic trait to most of their offspring (instead of 50 percent receiving ...

Multifactorial diseases, such as coronary artery disease, can be as complex as their name suggests. How much can we hope to understand about diseases with such variation in inheritance? Aa Aa Aa ...

BSc Genetics syllabus: The B.Sc. Genetics syllabus is carefully crafted to give students a fundamental and thorough grasp of the fundamental ideas guiding life's instruction set: DNA, inheritance, and ...

Using active genetics technology, biologists have developed the world's first CRISPR/Cas9-based approach to control genetic inheritance in a mammal. The achievement in mice lays the groundwork for ...
