Mendel’s experiments used plants that had traits which follow simple laws of dominance, segregation, and independent assortment. We have since learned that not all traits follow these simple laws. Give at least three examples of non-Mendelian inheritance patterns and explain how each differs from Mendel’s laws of inheritance.

Genomic studies

Genomic studies (genomics) is the study of the whole genome of an organism. Using bioinformatics and high-performance computing, genomic researchers examined massive amounts of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-sequence data to discover variations or mutations that affect drug response, health, or disease. Genomics is a much younger discipline than genetics, having only emerged in the last few decades as a result of technological advancements in DNA sequencing and computational biology.
