Eye color is a complex genetic trait determined by pairings of genes passed on from each parent. Scientists once believed eye color was determined by a single gene, but advances in genetic research ...

Similar methods could also help to shed light on genes that increase the probability of a person exhibiting specific personality traits, including neuroticism. Past research has unveiled over 100 ...

Scientists recreate mouse from gene older than animal life New research sheds light on evolutionary origins of stem cells with groundbreaking experiment to create mouse using ancient genetic tools ...

According to their interpretation of the evidence, a number of Denisovan populations that were adapted to environments across the Asian continent and beyond passed their genes to our own recent ...

StitchR, a new gene therapy technique, delivers large genes in two parts to treat muscular dystrophies by restoring critical proteins in animal models. Gene therapy can effectively treat various ...

In medical (human) genetics, this nomenclature is rarely used. Instead, it is most appropriate to define the significance of the allele based on its effect—the "A" allele is dominant to the "O ...

The systematic application of genomic technologies has the potential to transform patients’ lives by: enabling a quicker diagnosis for patients with a rare disease, limiting the possibility of years ...
