A groundbreaking study in the journal Science, has unveiled how deep ocean currents—known as global overturning ...

Microorganisms—bacteria, viruses and other tiny life forms—may drive biological variation in visible life as much, if not ...

DNA makes RNA, RNA makes protein, protein makes phenotype—was the guiding framework for understanding inheritance and disease ...

Mendel's law of segregation worked when animals had two copies of a gene, the diploid state. When it comes to the X chromosome, male flies are haploid—they've only got one copy. Another law ...

Quill: In biology classes, we learn that Gregor Mendel’s experiments breeding pea plants in the mid-19th century taught us that inherited traits are delivered to offspring on pairs of genes, one ...

Mendel had discovered genes. Dominant gene. In Mendel’s experiment the first generation plants had all inherited the gene to make a short plant, but its effect was masked by the dominant tall gene.

A collaborative research team has developed a plant gene drive system called CRISPR-Assisted Inheritance utilizing NPG1 (CAIN), which, according to the researchers, uses a toxin-antidote mechanism ...

Nevertheless, in more than two-thirds of cases, the underlying genetic changes in children who undergo sequencing are unknown. Researchers everywhere are looking to new methods to analyze exome ...
