Evidence that learned avoidance of a pathogenic bacterium can be transmitted to future generations in C. elegans is growing.

Independent replication confirms that avoidance of pathogenic PA14 learned by Caenorhabditis elegans persists through the F2 generation using standardized sodium azide immobilization choice assays, ...

Cystic fibrosis represents one of the most common inherited genetic disorders affecting people of European descent, touching the lives of approximately 30,000 individuals in the United States alone.

Genetic disorders can occur due to mutations in one gene (monogenic), multiple genes (multifactorial inheritance), and mutation in one or more chromosomes. Point mutations are where one nucleotide in ...

Although schwannomatosis is a genetic condition, the inheritance patterns for this disorder are complex and much less clear than for both NF1 and NF2. Some cases of schwannomatosis are familial, with ...

Most common forms of strabismus tend to run in families. But the genetics of strabismus are complex, so it’s not always simple to predict whether a child will inherit the condition. Strabismus is a ...

Hearing impairment is one of the most widespread sensory disabilities, affecting millions globally. According to estimates, ...
