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 these principles. Genetics is an expansive field that ...
A genetic analysis reveals that ancient pairings between humans and Neanderthals favored female humans mating with male Neanderthals, shedding light on their interactions.
Scientists have identified how specific genetic changes function in cells to influence disease risk and other human health traits. By probing regions of DNA previously linked to disease, the work has created high-resolution maps of DNA variant activity,
Rapidly testing hundreds of thousands of DNA sequences, scientists identified specific genetic variations contributing to blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a public health challenge that affects more than 800 million people worldwide. 1 CKD can be caused by a variety of disease processes. Many causes are difficult to identify with the use of traditional clinical diagnostics ...
"Monogenic" diseases, triggered by mutations in just one gene, may actually be more complex than scientists thought.
A genetics‑guided drug, compound 6, targets CARD9 to subtly calm gut inflammation in Crohn’s disease, pointing to safer, longer‑lasting, precision treatments.
