Scientists have unraveled the enigma of inheritance of coat color patterns in dogs. The researchers discovered that a genetic variant responsible for a very light coat in dogs and wolves originated ...

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 ...

It is often difficult to advocate for the importance of gene inheritance and transmission. After all, why should anyone care about Mendelian genetics? Mendel did excellent work, but his research was ...

Jaime Murillo, MD, explores genetic inheritance patterns of Lp(a) from childhood to adulthood, highlighting stability, factors affecting measurement, and awareness challenges among those in the health ...

“From Brown to Evergreen: How Eye Colors Evolved” Your eyes may seem ordinary when you catch your reflection each morn ...

In many animals, skin coloration and its patterns play a crucial role in camouflage, communication, or thermoregulation. In the corn snake, some morphs display red, yellow, or pink blotches, and their ...

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 ...

Background Monogenic disorders are a major cause of fetal structural anomalies. Most genetic diagnoses involve de novo, biallelic or X linked variants; however, inherited variants in autosomal ...

In corn snakes, certain lineages have red, yellow or pink colours, and their dorsal spots can merge or form stripes. In many animals, skin colouration and its patterns play a crucial role in ...
