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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The year was 1900. Three European botanists — one Dutch, one German and one Austrian — all reported results from breeding experiments in plants. Each claimed that they had independently discovered ...
