Scientists used diverse genomes to complete a fuller human DNA map. This unlocks hidden risks and improves diagnoses.

New research suggests that DNA sequences historically considered to be "junk" have had an overlooked role in gene expression ...

A portion of our genome that was once dismissed as being “junk” may actually play an important role in regulating gene ...

The DNA in our cells is constantly damaged, with the most severe being the simultaneous breakage of both strands that compose ...

A global team mapped over 100,000 structural variants in human genomes by applying Oxford Nanopore long-read sequencing and a ...

By tracking the DNA “barcodes” of sea creatures, researchers have found species previously unknown to science.

How a DNA 3D printer could revolutionize nanochip design, enabling optical computing, cheaper microchips, and eco-friendly fabrication.

Researchers have sequenced proteins from an ancient rhino relative from the cold, dry Haughton crater site (shown) in the Canadian Arctic. They are some of the oldest enamel sequences reported.

DNA is the building block of life — it can tell us a lot about both who we are, and who we may become. DNA is also, increasingly, becoming a commodity.

In 2020, the pandemic wreaked havoc on all walks of life, and while it pales in comparison to the millions of loved ones lost around the world, the summer movie season was also a casualty of that ...

The oldest known Egyptian DNA sample, from a man who lived between 4,500 to 4,800 years ago, offers new insights into the potential ancestry of those who belonged to the enduring civilization.
