A research team has revealed that yellow catfish populations across China show high overall genetic diversity but low genetic ...

Researchers used ten microsatellite markers to evaluate the genetic structure of six populations from the Yangtze, Huaihe, ...

This discovery not only reveals a communication system between parental alleles but also points to potential therapeutic strategies for diseases associated with haploinsufficient genes. Have you ever ...

Genes and alleles are essential to basic genetics, but what are the differences between them? In this guide, we compare genes and alleles and provide simple definitions and examples for both. Genes ...

All eggs contain one X chromosome. Half of sperm contain one ... Only in very rare cases a female will have two recessive alleles and be a sufferer. Affects nerve cells in the brain, leading ...

As a result, the same combination of alleles is transmitted all together to the next generation. These genetic units, called “supergenes,” have so far been found in ants, butterflies ...

By connecting Mendel’s groundbreaking research with observable genetic phenomena, the film serves as an informative resource for understanding the fundamental principles that govern heredity.

Alleles are the parts of a chromosome that encode specific genetic traits. Just like humans, canines inherit one allele from each parent for a certain gene. But why are these called “ghost ...

However, a sizable number of genes escape inactivation in females — a phenomenon shown in this study to be reflected in height genetics and may contribute to sex differences in height. Yet dosage ...
