Mendel’s monastery garden experiments went largely unnoticed during his life, but their implications would ripple through ...

The genetic bases of the seven pairs of contrasting traits in the garden pea that were described by the ‘father of genetics’, Gregor Mendel, have long puzzled scientists. The discovery of the genetic ...

Children often resemble their fathers more as they grow. Facial structure, hair patterns, and body build develop over years. Paternal genetics influences these changes. Health tendencies and emotional ...

Do you have your mom’s button nose? Did your dad pass on the curse of sneezing in bright sunlight? And where did your baby’s ...

The human genome may have been sequenced, but we are still learning about how it works. One of the features of the genome scientists are still deciphering is epigenetics, which refers to the various ...

AMES, Iowa – Understanding how both environmental conditions and genetic makeup affect crops is essential to developing varieties that are more resilient and productive. But the intricate interplay ...

Many human traits are influenced by multiple genes. Human genes can also carry slight variations in their gene sequences, which can have a wide range of effects. In some complex traits, those small ...

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 ...

An analysis of more than 5,000 individuals with autism reveals four distinct groups that link autism-related traits with underlying genetics. The work could lead to more precise diagnoses and ...

A Mendelian Genetics Game, published by Genius Games. In Genotype, you play as assistants, competing to collect experimental ...
