A new genetic technique uncovered traces of two unknown human lineages, including one that split from our ancestors 1.8 ...

Researchers mapped RNA fragments embedded in human DNA, revealing a new genomic layer called the "ribome" that may shape gene activity.

A new atlas pairs DNA methylation with 3D genome folding in 86,689 human cells and ties disease risk to specific cell types.

The discovery of DNA preserved in ancient sediments is expanding our understanding of what can constitute a fossil record.

Modern genomes preserve traces of ancient relatives that mixed with human ancestors in Africa and Eurasia.

Most biochemistry labs that study DNA isolate it within a water-based solution that allows scientists to manipulate DNA without interacting with other molecules. They also tend to use heat to separate ...

Researchers shed new light on G-quadruplexes, a type of secondary DNA structure that has attracted attention as a potential therapeutic target in cancer. Every day, billions of cells in your body ...

Swansea University has helped uncover a surprising new role for platelets—one that could significantly advance early cancer detection. The study, led by the University of Oxford and published in ...

The new device combines synthetic DNA and a semiconductor to create an efficient memory resistor, or 'memristor.' ...
