DNA shines a light back into the past, showing us things that fossils can't. But how far back can that light extend? Some of the oldest DNA sequences come from mastodon and polar bear fossils about 50 ...

A tooth from a mammoth that roamed the Siberian steppe more than a million years ago has yielded the world’s oldest DNA sequence. It’s the first time that DNA has been recovered from animal remains ...

Scientists using TwinsUK data and ultra‑precise DNA sequencing have uncovered rare DNA mutations in healthy tissue that could ...

Standard laboratory tests can fail to detect many disease-causing DNA changes. Now, a novel 3D chromosome mapping method can ...

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 ...

New scientific article warns of loss of consumer trust unless proper analysis is done. Report: Claire Robinson ...

Decades of research has viewed DNA as a sequence-based instruction manual ... rapidly from single-celled organisms into bodies with brains. This allowed, for example, building human societies that can ...

The development of DNA-/RNA-based drugs, like COVID-19 vaccines, is exploding. Current methods are costly, but researchers are finding effective and inexpensive method for producing stable, modified ...
