For more than a century, Mendelian genetics has shaped how we think about inheritance: one gene, one trait. It is a model that still echoes through textbooks—and one that is increasingly reaching its ...

Scientists are figuring out which of the 5,000 variants associated with schizophrenia have an actual causal effect in the development of the condition that affects millions of people worldwide.

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 ...

Researchers at the University of Colorado School of Medicine are hopeful new research could prevent up to 130,000 unneeded fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsies of thyroid nodules and subsequent ...

A team led by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and the Duncan Neurological Research Institute (Duncan NRI) at Texas Children's Hospital has uncovered a chain of events that connects genetic ...

Research on Tourette’s indicates that the condition is strongly influenced by inherited genetic factors, with environmental factors also contributing to its development. Tourette syndrome is a ...

Our understanding of schizophrenia has increased greatly in recent years, as studies of large groups of people have identified a multitude of genetic variants that increase a person's risk of the ...

Precision medicine in GU cancers is evolving with biomarkers like BRCA1/2 mutations influencing PARP inhibitor use and pembrolizumab's tumor-agnostic approval for microsatellite instability. FGFR3 ...

CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. (KFVS) - Whenever you talk about genetics, that makes up who you are, right? Everything from your hair, to your smile, to your eyes. Unfortunately, genetics can play a factor in a ...

Domestic pigs bred with wild boar after the nuclear disaster offer lessons in wildlife genetics and invasive species management.

Cucumber is an economically important crop worldwide, ranking as the third most-produced vegetable after tomatoes and onions.

Genetically speaking, we are individuals different from each other because of slight variations in our DNA sequences – so-called genetic variants – some of which have dramatic effects we can see and ...
