There are hundreds of cell types in the human body, each with a specific role spelled out in their DNA. In theory, all it ...

A 14,400-year-old wolf puppy’s last meal is shedding light on the last days of one of the Ice Age’s most iconic megafauna ...

Scientists have developed a new technique that could change how we design DNA for ...

For decades, scientists have been puzzled by large portions of the human genome labeled as “junk” DNA, sequences that seemingly serve no purpose. Yet, recent studies suggest these cryptic sequences ...

Phylogenetic analysis and DNA sequence representation are foundational pillars in modern molecular biology and bioinformatics. These approaches not only facilitate the reconstruction of evolutionary ...

The AHA recommended whole exome or whole genome sequencing as first-line diagnostic tools for mitochondrial diseases.

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics-meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in ...

Research co-led by King's College London and Sidra Medicine, Qatar, has produced the most detailed map to date of large-scale ...

New research suggests the mysterious Roman-era “Beachy Head Woman” was likely from Britain, not the Mediterranean or sub-Saharan Africa. Advances in DNA sequencing are helping researchers resolve a ...

Researchers from CSIRO, Australia's national science agency, have unlocked the most detailed genetic blueprint yet of a major ...

Cow D lived on a dairy farm in New Zealand. The animal looked like the typical black-and-white cow farmers raise for milk, except for one thing: Researchers had outfitted Cow D with an artificial ...
