A new @HopkinsMedicine study of mice reveals that epigenetic marks can be inherited in ways that break the century-long ...

Scientists have long known that the DNA code in genes is not the only way to pass genetic traits from parents to offspring. "Epigenetic" marks—chemical modifications to DNA that don't change the DNA ...

Understanding inheritance patterns in polyploid crops has long posed technical and financial challenges, particularly in species like tetraploid blueberry. This study introduces a cost-effective, ...

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 ...

Identifying mechanisms of diseases with complex inheritance patterns, such as macular telangiectasia type 2, is challenging. A link between macular telangiectasia type 2 and altered serine metabolism ...

Although schwannomatosis is a genetic condition, the inheritance patterns for this disorder are complex and much less clear than for both NF1 and NF2. Some cases of schwannomatosis are familial, with ...

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is an eye condition that can be genetic. In this way, people usually need to inherit two copies of a genetic variation that causes RP, one coming from each parent. RP may ...
