Allele frequencies have long been studied by biologists interested in evolution and speciation. More recently, with the application of molecular markers in human DNA profiling we have also seen the ...

Researchers have developed the first comprehensive atlas of allele-specific DNA methylation across 39 human cell types, revealing a complex landscape of epigenetic regulation. The study identified ...

Genes and alleles are essential to basic genetics, but what are the differences between them? In this guide, we compare genes and alleles and provide simple definitions and examples for both. Genes ...

The presence of the single nucleotide variation HLA-DRB1*01:03 was associated with severe ulcerative colitis, according to a Danish genome-wide association study. The association between the ...

Allele frequency is a measure of the relative frequency of an allele on a genetic locus in a population. Usually it is expressed as a proportion or a percentage. In population genetics, allele ...

An iterative procedure for deriving minimum-length phylogenetic trees from allele frequencies using Rogers' genetic distance as the measure of branch length is extended to include eight additional ...

Similar to the human eyes, nose, and lips, the earlobes also have unique features. Although the human ears appear similar, minor structural differences make each ear different from the other. The ...
