Genetic information in the DNA and modifications, such as DNA methylation, define the epigenetic landscape and phenotype and show both Mendelian and non-Mendelian heredity. Scientists have long known ...

Von Willebrand disease (VWD) is a bleeding disorder in which the blood does not clot as it should. Usually, people have VWD due to their genes, which may come from a male or female parent. Blood ...

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 ...

For more than a century, heredity has been framed through the tidy logic of Mendel's pea plants: traits pass from parent to offspring by fixed genetic rules. But a new mouse study suggests that ...
