Methane isn’t just an environmental buzzword — it is energy lost. Every puff of gas from a cow’s rumen represents feed energy ...

The genetic bases of the seven pairs of contrasting traits in the garden pea that were described by the ‘father of genetics’, Gregor Mendel, have long puzzled scientists. The discovery of the genetic ...

Do you have your mom’s button nose? Did your dad pass on the curse of sneezing in bright sunlight? And where did your baby’s red, curly hair come from when there hasn’t been a redhead in your family ...

The human genome may have been sequenced, but we are still learning about how it works. One of the features of the genome scientists are still deciphering is epigenetics, which refers to the various ...

Rare genetic traits are features that are uncommon within the general population. They can lead to different observable features or to rare physical abilities. Rare genetic traits are typically ...

Genetic factors account for much of the variation in personality traits across the lifespan. Shared upbringing plays a ...

An individual’s genetics and their environment both shape their personality. However, opinions differ on the degree to which each of these factors influences personality, and how they contribute to ...

New methods of analysis and novel markers are currently being identified to predict conditions with polygenic inheritance. These include polygenic risk scores (PRS), which are based on the presence of ...

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 ...
