New work by Columbia researchers has turned a textbook principle of genetics on its head and revealed why some people who carry disease-causing genes experience no symptoms.

A new population genetics model could explain why the genetic composition of Finnish people is so different from that of other European populations. Researchers discovered a previously unknown ...

Hardy-Weinberg equation The Hardy-Weinberg equation is a mathematical equation that can be used to calculate the genetic variation of a population at equilibrium.

In 1859, Charles Darwin proposed his theory of natural selection which acts on variations present in the populations and better varieties are produced in the course of time. Darwin’s theory of natural ...

The friar’s experiments laid the groundwork for genetics — and his understated approach to his work is inspirational.

Now, the study indicates 11 genetic markers can explain about a quarter of the variation in when babies start walking on their own.

After conducting a study involving more than 35,000 pairs of twins, the researchers say they believe genetic variation may explain as much as half of people’s propensity to own a dog.
