A new international study challenges the century‑old dominance of Mendelian genetics, arguing that most traits arise from complex interactions among many genes rather than single gene–trait links.

A collaborative research team has developed a plant gene drive system called CRISPR-Assisted Inheritance utilizing NPG1 (CAIN), which, according to the researchers, uses a toxin-antidote mechanism in ...

The iconic pea plant experiments of Gregor Mendel laid the foundations for the science of genetics. Now 160 years on, an international research collaboration has used genomics, bioinformatics and ...

Mendelian randomization, a powerful tool in medical research, helps us understand whether certain factors truly cause disease. This technique uses genetic variations as "natural experiments" to reveal ...

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 ...

Data from a series of randomized trials in the United States suggests that if teachers move genetics instruction toward more complex genomics concepts, they can help students have a more ...

San Francisco Bay Area based biotechnology firms, genXtraits Inc. (genXtraits) and Mendel Biotechnology, Inc. (Mendel), have announced a joint collaboration with AgGene Inc. (AgGene), a Canadian plant ...
