Doubly uniparental inheritance (DUI) of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) represents a rare and intriguing deviation from the standard model of strictly maternal inheritance. In bivalves, DUI manifests as the ...

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 ...

Now, in a new clinical trial, eight babies who had a high risk of inheriting such diseases from their moms appear to have been spared, thanks to an emerging technique called "mitochondrial donation." ...
