64 Human Genomes Sequenced Will Serve as New Reference for Genetic Variation and Predisposition to Human Diseases Researchers at the University of Maryland School of…
Fabricating nanoelectronic circuits of the future just got a lot more interesting, thanks to DNA origami. The quest for ever-smaller electronic components led an international…
A single test can identify the multitude of known sources of genetic variation underlying mismatch repair deficiency syndrome in inherited colon, endometrial, and other cancers,…
An international team led by researchers at the Centre for Palaeogenetics in Stockholm has sequenced DNA recovered from mammoth remains that are up to 1.2…
Genetic code evolution and Darwin’s evolution theory should consider DNA an “energy code.” Darwin’s theory of evolution should be expanded to include consideration of a…
Analysis reveals genetic control elements that are linked to hundreds of human traits. Twenty years ago this month, the first draft of the human genome…
The SARS-CoV-2 virus mutates fast. That’s a concern because these more transmissible variants of SARS-CoV-2 are now present in the U.S., U.K. and South Africa…
Neanderthals’ gut microbiota already included some beneficial micro-organisms that are also found in our own intestine. An international research group led by the University of…
Researchers reconstruct the ancestral great ape Y and show its rapid evolution in bonobo and chimpanzee. New analysis of the DNA sequence of the male-specific…
MIT study sheds light on the longstanding question of why cancer cells get their energy from fermentation. In the 1920s, German chemist Otto Warburg discovered…
Using CRISPR technology, researchers are tracking the lineage of individual cancer cells as they proliferate and metastasize in real-time. When cancer is confined to one…
New probes allow scientists to see four-stranded DNA interacting with molecules inside living human cells, unraveling its role in cellular processes. DNA usually forms the…
Researchers have found a simple way to eliminate almost all sequencing errors produced by a widely used portable DNA sequencer, potentially enabling scientists working outside the…
Biochemists use protein engineering to transfer photocaging groups to DNA. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the basis of life on earth. The function of DNA is…
Method will help researchers better understand mitochondrial DNA diseases. Scientists from the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer have developed a simple, high-throughput method for transferring isolated…
Discovery boosts theory that life on our planet arose from RNA-DNA mix. Chemists at Scripps Research have made a discovery that supports a surprising new…
University of Chicago scientists pioneer new method of measuring electricity in cells. Electricity is a key ingredient in living bodies. We know that voltage differences…
In 1533, the Bom Jesus — a Portuguese trading vessel carrying 40 tons of cargo including gold, silver, copper and more than 100 elephant tusks…
