In flowering plants, the genomes of cytoplasmic organelles – mitochondria and plastids – are typically inherited from the maternal parent, insulating them from the recombination that operates on ...

Bivalve mollusks display one of the most intriguing exceptions to strict maternal inheritance of mitochondria in the animal kingdom. In many bivalves, a system known as doubly uniparental inheritance ...

In Mendelian inheritance patterns, you receive one version of a gene, called an allele, from each parent. These alleles can be dominant or recessive. Non-Mendelian genetics don’t completely follow ...

The rapid advancement of high-throughput sequencing and multi-omics technologies has transformed genetics into an inherently data-intensive discipline. In ...
