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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

These activities introduce ideas about heredity, observing the differences and similarities in a population, and modeling how inheritance works. Campers can think about organisms as systems in which ...

Rare genetic traits are features that are uncommon within the general population. They can lead to different observable features or to rare physical abilities. Rare genetic traits are typically ...

That's what a team of scientists in the Czech Republic did this year to celebrate Gregor Mendel, a scientist and friar whose experiments in the mid-1800s laid the groundwork for modern genetics.
