genes that perform certain functions in lower animals have been maintained even in the human DNA script, though sometimes the genes have been modified for more complex functions. This thread of ...

Chances are you've seen an illustration of DNA's double-helix structure and even pictures of the chromosomes that comprise the human genome. But where and how does the famous double helix fit into ...

There are millions of species on Earth that are still unknown to us. Researchers call these species ‘biological dark matter’, ...

A UCLA-led study has provided an unprecedented look at how gene regulation evolves during human brain development, showing ...

Folks who struggle to reduce their carb intake might be able to blame ancient DNA still lurking in humans, a new study ...

A critical transition in early human development is regulated not by our own genes, but by DNA elements called transposons ...

CRISPR places an entirely new kind of power into human hands. For the first time, scientists can quickly and precisely alter, delete, and rearrange the DNA of nearly any living organism ...

Environmental DNA, also known as eDNA, is genetic material shed from animals and plants that scientists can use to tell what kinds of organisms are living in an environment. However, scientists ...

Researchers found a higher concentration of a specific kind of DNA -- extrachromosomal or ecDNA -- in more aggressive and advanced cancers that could mark them as targets for future therapies. They ...
