Scientists found that some inherited traits can bypass the traditional rules of genetics, revealing a surprising new layer of ...

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 ...

Most people with ALS don’t have a family history of it. Still, some cases of ALS are linked to inheriting specific gene mutations. Even nonfamilial cases can be linked to sporadic gene mutations that ...

The COVID-19 pandemic gave us tremendous perspective on how wildly symptoms and outcomes can vary between patients experiencing the same infection. How can two people infected by the same pathogen ...

We developed a genome-wide allele-specific methylation framework using long-read sequencing to characterize intergenerational epigenetic inheritance in mice. This framework revealed non-Mendelian ...
