DNA captured on air filters and stored since the 1960s acts as an ecological time capsule, according to a recent publication ...

Cancer’s most catastrophic DNA damage has long looked like a crime scene without a culprit, with chromosomes shattered and ...

Experts are increasingly turning to machine learning to predict antibiotic resistance in pathogens. With its help, resistance mechanisms can be identified based on a pathogen’s genetics. However, the ...

DNA is known to keep its form for centuries, and the researchers found that their tape could store data for more than 345 years at room temperature, or about 20,000 years at 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 ...

With a rate of mutation 35 percent higher than random chance, this previously unknown weakness could be a major vector for ...

Whether you turn red when drinking alcohol, dislike certain smells, or metabolize drugs differently from others, the ...

A recent study highlights how DNA microarray technology enables high-throughput gene analysis, supporting variation detection, expression ...

The scientists working on the DNA cassette coated the partitions with a crystal shell made from a metal-organic framework, ...

A new study reports that the locations where genes begin are particularly prone to mutations, and these genetic changes can ...

A closeup look at colibactin’s structure reveals chemical motifs that guide its mutation-wreaking “warheads” to specific stretches of DNA.

In the north, distinctive lineages such as M27, M28, and M29′Q trace deep roots in New Guinea and Near Oceania, while in the south, Australia’s own unique haplogroups appear to descend from the ...

Scientists discovered that the first 100 base pairs of human genes are unusually prone to mutations, especially during the ...
