Koalas suffered a massive population decline that left them with dangerously low genetic diversity. However, new genomic research suggests their rapid rebound may be helping reverse some of that ...

Most people alive today carry fragments of Neanderthal DNA in their genome. Now scientists are gaining a more intimate ...

Forensic science has fascinated the world for decades. From TV shows like CSI to crime thrillers, it’s often portrayed as a magical tool that can instantly solve any crime. But the real world of ...

MASSIVELY parallel sequencing (MPS) has transformed forensic DNA analysis by allowing scientists to examine multiple DNA ...

DNA isn't just a long string of genetic code, but an intricate 3D structure folded inside each cell. That means the tools used to study DNA need to be just as sophisticated—able to read not only the ...

A study published in the journal Science reveals how jumping fragments of human DNA, a type of genetic parasite, destabilize the cancer genome. Unstable genomes are a fertile playground for cancer ...

Most people think design style is about aesthetics. A growing body of research suggests it's actually about neurology, stress response and identity.

"At first, I kind of laughed … But they were serious. I could just see the seriousness in their faces." In this book excerpt, Lise Barnéoud explores the limitations of DNA testing.

For the first time in the world, BSIP and ZSI are attempting to sequence the whole nuclear genome of this extinct Indian big ...

Researchers have made DNA storage rewritable, overcoming one of its biggest limitations. The breakthrough could turn DNA into a practical alternative to today’s energy-hungry data centers. The post ...
