Variation in the number of CGG repeats in the FMR1 gene at the bottom of the X chromosome can lead to increased levels of mRNA or decreased levels of protein—both conditions that cause disease.

Advances in genetics in recent years has revealed that many apparently exclusive pairs in fact sometimes mate with individuals other than their partner, but social monogamy is widespread.

In this infographic, we explore the genetics of cancer, the predictive and diagnostic power of genetic-based tools, and much more. In this article, we will explore how advances in genetics and liquid ...

Digital sequence information, or “DSI”, refers to the genetic information derived from biodiversity. Public and private databases – headquartered mainly in the global north – often source this genetic ...
