The course is an introduction to developmental biology and genetics - in plants, animals and other relevant groups of organisms. We will use concepts and principles from genetics and epigenetics to ...
a unit of heredity which is transferred from a parent to offspring and is held to determine some characteristic of the offspring one of two or more alternative forms of a gene that arise by mutation ...
eLife is a non-profit organisation inspired by research funders and led by scientists. Our mission is to help scientists accelerate discovery by operating a platform for research communication that ...
The genome of a once-endangered songbird shows extensive signs of inbreeding, according to a new study. Because inbreeding can negatively impact survival and reproduction, the results could guide ...
Multiplexed assays of variant effect are an increasingly important tool in genetic research and including more context specificity in their design would aid interpretation and discovery.
