A mouse study shows that about 7% of inherited DNA methylation patterns follow non-Mendelian rules, revealing unexpected ...

Mice show that DNA methylation tags can defy Mendel’s inheritance rules by appearing in offspring even when neither parent ...

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 ...

Research on Tourette’s indicates that the condition is strongly influenced by inherited genetic factors, with environmental factors also contributing to its development. Tourette syndrome is a ...

From eye color to dimples, the traits that make us unique are rooted in the fascinating science of genetics. Our genes, inherited from both parents, interact in complex ways to determine our physical ...

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) occurs as a result of genetic changes on the X chromosome. If someone has a gene change that can cause DMD, their children may inherit that change. DMD is a ...
