A very important insight that underlies the science of genetics, namely that traits can be inherited by offspring from the parents, was first experimentally established by Gregor Mendel ...

The findings were published this week in the journal Nature. The study, titled Genomic and genetic insights into Mendel's pea genes, was led by Cheng Shifeng, a professor of the Agricultural ...

Specifically, they encourage considering alternative paradigms that encompass non-genetic processes involved in tumorigenesis. For example, they explain the concepts of cancer as a result of ...

Despite rapid advances in genetic testing in recent decades, more than half of people worldwide with suspected Mendelian genetic disorders do not have an accurate molecular diagnosis. Others ...

and other congenital hereditary skin conditions that follow the Mendelian inheritance pattern. Some Mendelian skin disorders are genetically and prototypically heterogeneous. Thus, a precise genetic ...

Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT), also known as prenatal-cell-free DNA-screening, allows a pregnant individual to receive a blood test that screens for very large changes in fetal chromosomes ...

In a major report on the looming frontier of human gene-editing, the Nuffield Council on Bioethics (NCB) said it did not believe there was an ethical red line in tinkering with the genetic ...

Generation Bio’s non-viral genetic medicine platform aims to advance durable, redosable, and titratable therapies to reach potentially hundreds of millions of patients worldwide. The company has ...

Many risk-scoring models derived from genetic studies in non-European-ancestry populations often fall short because those studies typically are relatively small in scale. This results in a ...
