Researchers pinpoint the genes responsible for the final three pea traits studied by the famed citizen scientist.

Patients had already undergone expert phenotyping, laboratory investigation and gene sequencing, but were without a genetic diagnosis. Filtered WES data were reviewed for genes underlying Mendelian ...

It was discovered that he carried the recessive gene for beta thalassemia (BT), a form of hereditary anemia and the most prevalent genetic disease in the world. The Montreal physician following ...

Each gene has two versions, called alleles. You inherit one allele from your mother and one from your father. If the two alleles are different (heterozygous), the dominant one is expressed, while the ...

Another paper from the PCGC published earlier this month, also showed that recessive mutations, which only cause disease when both copies of a gene are mutated, contribute to only about 2 ...

As we mentioned earlier, some goats have horns and others don’t. However, their horns are actually the result of recessive genes. The gene for polled goats (goats without horns) is dominant. This ...

Gene Simmons is surrounded by about 50 paintings and sketches — all of which he created himself — when he admits, "I don't know what I'm doing." The KISS frontman took up painting during the ...

Genes are found in chromosomes which are found in the nucleus of cells. Chromosomes are coiled up lengths of DNA each carrying lots of genes. Human cells have 46 chromosomes, which are found in pairs.
