Genetics: How do we inherit traits from our ancestors?
What makes every person unique? Part of the answer is in our genes.
In this study, we analysed the impact of study design and life history traits on genetic variation of plants determined with amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLPs), a technique widely applied ...
• Background and Aims Natural selection and genetic drift are important evolutionary forces in determining genetic and phenotypic differentiation in plant populations. The extent to which these two ...

Scientists uncover dozens of genetic traits that depend on which parent you inherit them from
A new study published in Nature provides evidence that some genetic traits are shaped not just by which variant a person inherits, but by which parent they inherit it from. By analyzing genetic data ...
The earliest studies of genetic inheritance were very straightforward - Gregor Mendel documented the passage of certain easily observable traits as they passed down through generations of pea plants.
