For more than a century, heredity has been framed through the tidy logic of Mendel’s pea plants: traits pass from parent to ...
A major mouse study found that some inherited traits are passed down through epigenetic changes that break the classic rules ...

A Johns Hopkins-Texas A&M mouse study found 7% of inherited DNA methylation patterns ignore Mendel’s rules across three generations
Researchers at Johns Hopkins University and Texas A&M University have documented at least 522 autosomal sites where DNA ...
Jaime Murillo, MD, explores genetic inheritance patterns of Lp(a) from childhood to adulthood, highlighting stability, factors affecting measurement, and awareness challenges among those in the health ...

The same mouse study turned up a paramutation in mammals — previously seen only in plants and flies — that copies one parent’s epigenetic state onto the other’s …
A mouse experiment has revealed that one parent’s epigenetic methylation pattern can rewrite the matching gene inherited from ...
Forty years ago, a postdoctoral researcher named James McGrath who would go on to spend more than three decades as a clinical geneticist and research scientist at Yale, made a discovery that advanced ...
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 ...
Researchers have identified inherited genetic variants that may predict the loss of one copy of a woman's two X chromosomes as she ages, a phenomenon known as mosaic loss of chromosome X, or mLOX.
