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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Forty years ago, a postdoctoral researcher named James McGrath who would go on to spend more than three decades as a clinical geneticist and research scientist at Yale, made a discovery that advanced ...

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 ...

Genetic testing for schwannomatosis is available and may be appropriate for some people. The current test identifies a mutation in the SMARCB1 gene, which predisposes an individual to developing the ...

Hair genetics can come from either parent, and multiple genes can determine hair traits, such as color, texture, and growth. Genes can also affect hair loss. Although it can run in families, this is ...
