During his life, Gregor Mendel's essential studies on plant hybridization remained largely unappreciated. His landmark paper, ...

The science of genetics began not with microscopes or DNA sequencing, but in a quiet monastery garden. In the mid-19th century, Gregor Mendel, an Augustinian friar living in what is now the Czech ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed MRZ, a new Mendelian randomization method that robustly classifies genetic instruments to deliver ...

Genetic evidence suggests insomnia may help drive systemic inflammation, according to a study published online in Sleep. 1 ...

RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) is a powerful tool in diagnosing Mendelian disorders, but the optimized sequencing depth for this technology has not yet been determined. In a new study published in the ...

Gregor Johann Mendel’s experiments on pea plants in the mid-19th century established the fundamental principles of heredity by demonstrating that traits are transmitted as discrete “units” rather than ...

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 ...

Despite rapid advances in genetic testing over recent decades, about half of people with a suspected Mendelian genetic disorder have no accurate diagnosis, while others may have to wait years for ...
