The COVID-19 pandemic gave us tremendous perspective on how wildly symptoms and outcomes can vary between patients ...

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 ...

Analyzing genetic data from 2.5 million people, researchers identified 676 genes and dozens of proteins linked to Type 2 diabetes across seven tissues. Most signals were absent in blood, highlighting ...

Genetic disorders can occur due to mutations in one gene (monogenic), multiple genes (multifactorial inheritance), and mutation in one or more chromosomes. Point mutations are where one nucleotide in ...

Computational biologists have uncovered how RNA splicing -- a crucial process for isoform expression and protein diversity -- is regulated across different cell types in the peripheral blood. This ...
