Genetics is the branch of science concerned with genes, heredity, and variation in living organisms. It seeks to understand the process of trait inheritance from parents to offspring, including ...

The mitochondrial genome is the full genetic complement of a mitochondrion. Mitochondrial DNA is only a small portion of the total DNA of a eukaryotic cell and in most species is solely inherited ...

Resequencing of a core collection of tef, an indigenous cereal, identifies genetic redundancy and candidate genes for grain colour, size and metabolite content variation. Significant efforts are ...

Disease genetics, of human, animal and plant diseases, investigates the consequences of pathogenic (host) genetic variants as the major causes of heritable disorders (monogenic diseases ...

Genetic testing involves the detection of specific alleles, mutations, genotypes or karyotypes that are associated with heritable traits, diseases or predispositions to disease for the individual ...
