Maternal non-Mendelian inheritance of a reduced lifespan? A hypothesis. [PDF]
A negative correlation exists between advanced maternal age and reproduction. Current data suggest that this correlation is due to a decline in oocyte quality with respect to female age. Since a new individual is derived from the fusion of a single sperm and egg, we tested whether the quality of this material could influence the long-term physiological

Colorectal Cancer Risk between Mendelian and Non-Mendelian Inheritance. [PDF]
AbstractHereditary colorectal cancer has been an area of focus for research and public health practitioners due to our ability to quantify risk and then act based on such results by enrolling patients in surveillance programs. The wide access to genetic testing and whole-genome sequencing has resulted in identifying many low/moderate penetrance genes ...

Non-Mendelian inheritance during inbreeding of Cav3.2 and Cav2.3 deficient mice. [PDF]
AbstractThe mating of 77 heterozygous pairs (Cav3.2[+|−] x Cav3.2[+|−]) revealed a significant deviation of genotype distribution from Mendelian inheritance in weaned pups. The mating of 14 pairs (Cav3.2[−|−] female x Cav3.2[+|−] male) and 8 pairs (Cav3.2[+|−] female x Cav3.2[−|−] male) confirmed the significant reduction of deficient homozygous Cav3.2[

RNAi epimutations conferring antifungal drug resistance are inheritable [PDF]
Epimutations modify gene expression and lead to phenotypic variation while the encoding DNA sequence remains unchanged. Epimutations mediated by RNA interference (RNAi) and/or chromatin modifications can confer antifungal drug resistance and may impact ...

Non-Mendelian inheritance: Genomic Imprinting
Genomic imprinting is a form of non-Mendelian inheritance. It refers to a parental-specific difference in the behaviour of homologous chromosomes or loci. Genes are expressed from two alleles; one maternal and one paternal. But in minor cases, genomic imprinting causes the differential expression of a gene according to its maternal or paternal origin ...

Clarifying Mendelian vs non-Mendelian inheritance. [PDF]
Abstract Gregor Mendel developed the principles of segregation and independent assortment in the mid-1800s based on his detailed analysis of several traits in pea plants. Those principles, now called Mendel's laws, in fact, explain the behavior of genes and alleles during meiosis and are now understood to underlie “Mendelian inheritance”

Epistatic Control of Non-Mendelian Inheritance in Mouse Interspecific Crosses [PDF]
Abstract Strong deviation of allele frequencies from Mendelian inheritance favoring Mus spretus-derived alleles has been described previously for X-linked loci in four mouse interspecific crosses. We reanalyzed data for three of these crosses focusing on the location of the gene(s) controlling deviation on the X chromosome and the ...

Mendelian and non-Mendelian inheritance of newly-arisen chromosome rearrangements [PDF]
Seven centric shifts and three reciprocal interchanges, all newly-arisen in natural populations, have been tested for their inheritance in the dioecious flowering plant Rumex acetosa. In backcrosses between the heterozygote and standard plants transmissions ranged from 0.36 to 0.85 per gamete for the novel chromosome.

Non-mendelian Inheritance in Mammals Is Highly Constrained [PDF]
In this issue, Kazachenka, Bertozzi, and colleagues identify elements in the mouse genome with epigenetic variability between littermates, a phenomenon linked to transmission of phenotypes over generations. This addresses two questions that remained unanswered despite intense speculation: how prevalent are these alleles, and what is their effect ...
