A mouse study shows that about 7% of inherited DNA methylation patterns follow non-Mendelian rules, revealing unexpected ...

Genetic information in the DNA and modifications, such as DNA methylation, define the epigenetic landscape and phenotype and show both Mendelian and non-Mendelian heredity. Scientists have long known ...
