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 ...

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 ...

The blueprint of who we are begins with the genes passed down from our parents. While these inherited traits give us our eye color and height, they can also contain instructions that increase our risk ...

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 ...

The human genome is a rich, complex record of migration, encounters, and inheritance written over thousands of millennia.
