A new study published in Genetics in Medicine identifies a novel disease-associated gene, GPKOW, that plays an important role ...

Often, it is impossible to determine which two alleles of a gene are present within an organism's chromosomes based solely on the outward appearance of that organism. However, an allele that is ...

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.

An organism's characteristics are controlled by the genes it inherits from its parents. A gene is a location on a chromosome where there is a DNA base sequence that codes for a protein that ...
