Gregor Mendel's principles of inheritance form the cornerstone of modern genetics. So just what are they? When looking at the figure, notice that for each F 1 plant, the self-fertilization ...

actually follow Mendelian inheritance patterns. The PKU-associated enzyme deficiency was determined biochemically in the 1950s—long before the PAH-encoding gene was mapped to human chromosome 12 ...

Mendelian randomization (MR) represents a valuable methodology to address the causal relationships between an exposure and an ...

Gregor Mendel discovered the basic principles of heredity through experiments with pea plants, long before the discovery of DNA and genes. Mendel was an Augustinian monk at St Thomas’s Abbey ...

His experiments laid the foundations for modern genetics. And unbeknown to Mendel at the time, his discovery of how physical traits are passed down from one generation to the next revealed a ...

Introduction to Mendelian randomization, the problems with using traditional observational studies to investigate causality, and Randomized controlled trials as the gold standard for causal research.
