In most higher organisms, including humans, every cell carries two versions of each gene, which are referred to as alleles. Each parent passes on one allele to each offspring. As they are linked ...

When the genomes of parents come together to create the genome of a child, their DNA recombines; similar parts are rearranged so that a child carries sections of their parents genomes that have been ...

Quantum Dot (QD) is a nanometer-sized semiconductor nanocrystal that has unique optical properties such as the ability to emit light in the range of optical frequencies depending on its size. QDs have ...

Philosophical Transactions: Biological Sciences, Vol. 372, No. 1736, Theme issue: Evolutionary causes and consequences of recombination rate variation in sexual organisms (19 December 2017), pp. 1-14 ...

An international study has shown how and when entirely new gene mutations, known as de novo mutations, originate in dogs. A key finding is that higher paternal age increases the number of de novo ...

Virus variation has been the bane of Covid-19 control. No sooner has one wave of infection passed than a second arrives, evading prior immunity and even vaccines. Monoclonal antibody drugs effective ...

November 4, 2010 – The autoimmune disease type 1 diabetes (T1D), also known as juvenile diabetes, is diagnosed in approximately 70,000 children worldwide per year. Genetics is increasingly being ...

The present theory offers a unified solution to three closely related evolutionary problems. (1) Why does an evolving population explore only a small fraction of the accessible pathways in genotype ...
