James C. Schnable's pioneering genetics research got him recognized with the 2026 National Academy of Sciences Prize in Food ...

Smithsonian researcher Sarah Johnson studies bison specimens to understand how the species’s genetic diversity changed after its decline ...

A landmark finding that suggests koala genetic diversity not the only deciding factor in successful regrowth of populations.

Scientists are figuring out which of the 5,000 variants associated with schizophrenia have an actual causal effect in the development of the condition that affects millions of people worldwide.

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 ...

Some koalas may recover their genes after major population crashes. Growing koala populations may rebuild genetic strength over time.

Mayo Clinic research teams use a multidisciplinary approach to understand and identify factors associated with clinical diagnoses and treatment responses.

For more than a century, Mendelian genetics has shaped how we think about inheritance: one gene, one trait. It is a model that still echoes through textbooks—and one that is increasingly reaching its ...

In a study led by Jan Korbel at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) and Ashley Sanders at the Berlin Institute for Medical Systems Biology of the Max Delbrück Center (MDC-BIMSB), ...

Researchers at the University of Colorado School of Medicine are hopeful new research could prevent up to 130,000 unneeded fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsies of thyroid nodules and subsequent ...

Research on Tourette’s indicates that the condition is strongly influenced by inherited genetic factors, with environmental factors also contributing to its development. Tourette syndrome is a ...
