A comprehensive atlas maps DNA methylation across 39 human cell types, revealing a complex landscape of epigenetic regulation.

A new study has been published in Nature Communications, presenting the first comprehensive atlas of allele-specific DNA ...

The allele frequency represents the incidence of a gene variant in a population. Alleles are variant forms of a gene that are located at the same position, or genetic locus, on a chromosome.

Genetic testing for hereditary arrhythmia and cardiomyopathy in an area with known founder effects on local genetic variants ...

Genes come in different varieties, called alleles. Somatic cells contain two alleles for every gene, with one allele provided by each parent of an organism. Often, it is impossible to determine ...

The TAS2R38 gene comes in different forms known as alleles. There are two main types: the “taster” allele (T) and the “non-taster” allele (t). Those with at least one T allele are called ...

Heterozygous Describes an individual who has inherited two different alleles of the same gene from their parents Homozygous Describes an individual who has inherited the same allele for a gene ...

1 Homozygous for allele r rr Wrinkled 2 Homozygous for allele R RR Round Plants 2 and 3 both have the same phenotype even though they have different genotypes. This is because the effect of allele ...

Researchers have developed a comprehensive atlas that maps DNA methylation—a critical chemical modification governing gene ...
