In Mendelian inheritance patterns, you receive one version of a gene, called an allele, from each parent. These alleles can be dominant or recessive. Non-Mendelian genetics don’t completely follow ...
Genetic correlation estimates typically assume that mating is random. But in the real world, partners tend to pair up because of many shared interests and social structures. Many estimates of how ...
Your genes code for all your traits. Some genes are dominant and expressed if you receive a copy from one parent. Others are recessive and only apparent if you receive a copy from both parents. Genes ...

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 ...
Behavioral geneticists study the genetic and environmental underpinnings of psychological and many other human traits. With a decades-long history and well-established research methods, the field has ...
In a recent study published in the journal Nature Human Behaviour, researchers from the United States of America conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) on personality traits to identify ...
Understanding how genes interact to influence complex traits, such as Body Mass Index or total cholesterol levels, in humans is important for basic biology and precision medicine. Such interactions ...
A new study has developed a powerful computational method that can detect how genes interact with each other to influence complex traits in humans at a scale previously impossible. The new method was ...
