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.

Relative allele frequency is the percentage of all copies of a certain gene in a population that carry a specific allele. This is an accurate measurement of the amount of genetic variation in a ...

Every person carries two copies of most genes, with one version, or allele, coming from each parent. Even though these copies tend to be functionally redundant, conventional genetic theory dictates ...

Implications for pathogenesis of genetic diseases: Validation of tissue-specific, maternal allele-specific methylation of the CHD7 gene suggests a potential mechanism for the paternal bias ...

Using genetically predicted metabolic reaction fluxes, the authors identify reactions that can amplify or buffer the effect ...

The study demonstrated that cells in 14 brain regions, including multiple parts of the hypothalamus, which helps coordinate the endocrine system, specifically express the maternal allele for the gene ...

A gene known as HbS was the center of a medical and evolutionary detective story that began in the middle 1940s in Africa. Doctors noticed that patients who had sickle cell anemia, a serious ...
