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 ...

It has been hypothesized that the inheritance of epigenetic traits, such as DNA methylation, may be more prevalent than is currently established 1,2. This phenomenon could help explain poorly ...

We developed a genome-wide allele-specific methylation framework using long-read sequencing to characterize intergenerational epigenetic inheritance in mice. This framework revealed non-Mendelian ...

Although schwannomatosis is a genetic condition, the inheritance patterns for this disorder are complex and much less clear than for both NF1 and NF2. Some cases of schwannomatosis are familial, with ...

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 ...

Scientists have long known that the DNA code in genes is not the only way to pass genetic traits from parents to offspring. “Epigenetic” marks — chemical modifications to DNA that don’t change the DNA ...
